By Renee Swank. In this activity you will learn all about the types of ecosystem. You can read all of the material and watch a short video on ecosystems. After you have read the material and watched the video, you can take the short quiz to see how much you learned!!. . Table of Contents. Section 3: . Aquatic Ecosystems. Section 1: .

Study of how organisms interact with each other and with their environment.. Can be divided into several levels: . individual, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere. 4.2 pgs. 94 - 100. Biomes. A large geographical region with a specific range of temperatures and precipitation, and the organisms that are adapted to those conditions of temperature and precipitation. CHAPTER. Too Much of a Good Thing?. Elephant populations in southern Africa declined sharply due to hunting but have made overwhelming comebacks within nature reserves and parks.. Some worry that elephant overpopulation is causing a decline in local biodiversity and damage to farms and infrastructure.. The . altiplano. is a high plateau in the Andean regions of two South American nations.. The . varzea. , or “flooded forest,” is found mainly along the Amazon River in this nation.. The . cerrado. Section 3: . Aquatic Ecosystems. K. What I Know. W. What I Want to Find Out. L. What I Learned. Essential Questions. What are the major abiotic factors that determine the aquatic ecosystems?. What are transitional aquatic ecosystems and why are they important?.

What is ecology?. It is the science that studies how . organisms. relate to each other and their . environment. .. Considers both . biotic. (living) and . abiotic. (nonliving) aspects.. Examples of abiotic factors: . Summary. This lesson utilizes the example of healthy estuaries to demonstrate tools scientists use to measure ecosystem health. Students will learn the definition and function of an estuary, an essential coastal ocean ecosystem. Students will then learn methods to measure parameters of large areas using quadrats and subsets. . Unit Standards. 5.L.4A.1 . Analyze and interpret data to summarize the abiotic factors (including quantity of light and water, range of temperature, salinity, and soil composition) of different terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. . Getting started. You’ll need a notepad on which to make notes as you go along, or you could make notes, paste images, etc. on your device.. You can view these slides:. as a slide-show for any animations and to follow links.
