AGENDA:
- Objectives: Be able to explain how an area’s climate influences/shapes the biogeochemical cycles that occur there and how this, in turn, determines the kinds of life able to exist in that place
- Warm-up: If you had to argue for two organism classes (trophic levels) as being essential to the operation and survival of any ecosystem type, for which two kinds of organisms would you argue and how would you defend your argument? [5]
- Community Interactions [20]
- Climate, microclimates, and the Ecology Field Day [50]
- Work time (apply as needed) [25]
- Discuss ESLP project ideas with Mr. Bursch and sign up [~25]
HOMEWORK:
- Finish climographs and Ecology Field Day data/description table (on back of handout)
