Transcript MYP Biology Warm-up - Rufus King Biology

MYP Biology Warm-up
Warm-up: Write Q and A on sheet.
Do you think plants can compete with each
other?
If so, what are two things that you think plants
compete for?
Plant Competition Lab
Clean-up:
Reset box and return to side of room.
Wipe up table - use one paper towel only.
Wash hands with soap - use one paper towel
only.
Choosing the Right Graph
When should you use a….
Bar Graph?
Line Graph?
Scatter Plot (X-Y Plot)?
Choosing a Title for a Graph
Every graph needs a title.
1. Identify the independent and dependent variables.
2. Write a title in one of these formats:
The Effect of IV on DV
(Ex. The Effect of Competition on Plant Growth)
OR
The Dependence of DV on IV
(Ex. The Dependence of Plant Growth on
Competition)
Graph work time! Graph in pencil so that you can make
corrections. Use a ruler.
MYP Biology Warm-up
Warm-up: Write terms and definitions only on
your sheet.
Population -
Community Ecosystem Use the diagram and talk with your desk partner
to develop a definition of each term. Write in
pencil so that you can make revisions.
MYP Biology Warm-up
HWK: Graphs and packet due Mon.
Warm-up: Write Q & A on sheet.
Does this picture represent a population,
community, or ecosystem? Use your warm-up
from yesterday to help. Explain your answer.
Ecosystem Vocabulary
Add to your notebook
Population - a group of organisms of the
same species who live in the same area at
the same time.
Community - a group of populations living
and interacting with each other in an area.
Ecosystem - a community and its abiotic
(non-living) environment.
Oh Deer!
Number in population
Shelter = 1, 2 Food = 3, 4 Water = 5, 6
The dependence of deer population on generation
Generation
Oh Deer! Think-Pair-Share
What caused the deer population to increase?
What caused the deer population to
decrease?
Why did the population size constantly
fluctuate?
What were some limits on the growth of this
population?
Watch video clip
What size of population do you think this
habitat could support over time?
Science Friday!
HWK: Graphs and packet due Mon.
Warm-up: Write Q & A on sheet.
1. What is Utah offering to coyote hunters?
2. How do supporters think reducing coyote
populations will affect mule deer?
3. Why do some people oppose this program?
4. What are some ways that coyotes adapt in
order to survive?
Ecosystem Vocabulary
Add to your notebook
Habitat - the environment in which a species
normally lives
Carrying capacity - the largest number of
individuals of a species that can survive over
long periods of time in a given environment;
depends on the effect of the limiting factors
