Answer to W.U. #2 9/9

• Same: In both cases, the organisms best adapted to the environment survive to pass their genes on to the next generation.

• Diff.: With N.S., nature “selects” the best adaptations. With P.R., the pesticide becomes the main selector.

Lab Safety

• broken glass?• report immediately to teacher• Spills of every day materials?• Clean up immediately• Working with caustic or corrosive chemicals?• Close-toed shoes, safety goggles & apron• Chemical in eyes?• Eye-wash station

Page 32: Environmental Science

Good Lab Practices1. Return equipment to cart, cleaned and dried2. Immediately clean up any spills to floor3. Use sponges, not paper towels, for all water

spills on counter4. ONLY WATER in the sinks. 5. Wash hands when finished6. ID your set-up (on drawing and cup)7. Measure and Record accurate volumes, using

small beakers or graduated cylinders8. On data sheet, include space for

notes/qualitative observations

Ecology Unit Standards

SEV2. Students will demonstrate an understanding that the Earth is one interconnected system. a. Describe how the abiotic components (water, air, and energy) affect the biosphere. b. Recognize and give examples of the hierarchy of the biological entities of the biosphere (organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere).

Page 40: Environmental Science

Ecology Unit Standards SEV2. Students will demonstrate an understanding that the Earth is one interconnected system. c. Characterize the components that define a Biome. Abiotic Factors – to include precipitation, temperature and soils. Biotic Factors – plant and animal adaptations that create success in that biome. d. Characterize the components that define fresh-water and marine systems. Abiotic Factors – to include light, dissolved oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, pH and substrate. Biotic Factors – plant and animal adaptations characteristic to that system.

Page 41: Environmental Science

Ecology Unit Standards

SEV1. Students will investigate the flow of energy and cycling of matter within an ecosystem and relate these phenomena to human society. a. Interpret biogeochemical cycles including hydrologic, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon cycles. Recognize that energy is not recycled in ecosystems. b. Relate energy changes to food chains, food webs, and to trophic levels in a generalized ecosystem, recognizing that entropy is a primary factor in the loss of usable food energy during movement up the trophic levels.

Page 42: Environmental Science

Ecology Unit Standards

SEV1. Students will investigate the flow of energy and cycling of matter within an ecosystem and relate these phenomena to human society. c. Relate food production and quality of nutrition to population growth and the trophic levels d. Relate the cycling of matter and the flow of energy to the Laws of Conservation of matter and energy. Identify the role and importance of decomposers in the recycling process. e. Distinguish between abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem and describe how matter and energy move between these.
