  1. Warm-ups: November 12 – November 16 How does a species survive?

  2. If there are fishing boats in the area, then the population of sea otters will decline because they will drown in nets. • If sharks are in the area, then the population of sea otters will decline because sharks are predators. • If there is pollution at Ocean Edge, then the population of sea otters will decline because it will cause disease. • If there is competition for food, then the population of sea otters will decline because they will starve. • If otters are exposed to PCB, then the population of sea otters will decline because of reproductive failure. Monday, November 12, 2012 • Choose a hypothesis for the Science Seekers Lab activity and write it in your warm-up. Choose from the list below. • If there are fishing boats in the area, then the population of sea otters will decline because they will drown in nets. • If sharks are in the area, then the population of sea otters will decline because sharks are predators. • If there is pollution at Ocean Edge, then the population of sea otters will decline because it will cause disease. • If there is competition for food, then the population of sea otters will decline because they will starve. • If otters are exposed to PCB, then the population of sea otters will decline because of reproductive failure.

  3. Define life cycle from the Science Seekers books Use life cycle correctly in a sentence so the meaning of the word is clear Add a picture to help you remember the word Tuesday, November 13, 2012 • 2. Define reproduction from the Science Seekers books • Use birth rate correctly in a sentence • so the meaning of the word • is clear • Add a picture to help you • remember the word

  4. Wednesday, November 14, 2012 Write down what you remember about migration from the Otter Cove game. 2. Watch the wildebeest video about migration: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/animals/mammals-animals/deer-and-antelope/wildebeest_migration.html 3. How does migration add or subtract from a population of a species?

  5. Thursday, November 15, 2012 • Write down the definition for limiting factor • Something in an environment that limits how much a population can grow, such as the amount of food or space available, or the presence of predators. • As a group, each individual read about your limiting factor and then summarize the information and add the examples to your definition.

  8. Tuesday, November 20, 2012 • The taiga ecosystem (Summit County) has lost it’s population of mountain lions to a poisonous substance found in their bodies. • How will the elimination of mountain lions change the ecosystem? • Name at least two changes to the ecosystem and how this affects the equilibrium of the ecosystem.
