Used models created yesterday to do mini-presentations in groups of 3-4 students to explain rotation and revolution to Ms. Wiens
Researched various topics related to space and chose topic that interested them the most
Started researching mini-presentations for topic - general overview and selection today -more details to come
HMK
Design and Ecosystem Project Improvements due Friday (that's tomorrow)
Ecosystem Lab Report due Monday
Space Presentations - due the week after next (specific date to be determined)
Period 3
Used models created yesterday to do mini-presentations in groups of 3-4 students to explain rotation and revolution to Ms. Wiens
Scientific Notation Review Worksheet and Lesson (notes to be posted later tonight)
Be sure worksheet questions are completed.

How do you make a food web on the ecosystem lab if you did not get all of the animals in the ecosystem.
I am having trouble creating a food web with all 40 of the species we located. I don't have the room on a page to make a note of all the species we located. Is there a way to make the food web without using all the species, or will that cost me marks?
For the Lab Report - include the species you saw, and you can include a few you would know would be there just not at the time of day that we were there. Indicate in the food web that you didn't actually observe them (either with a * or another colour text) and don't forget a legend.
You probably collected more data on producers than consumers so to get them all to fit on the page, you might want to put producers around the outside in a large circle and work inwards with your top consumers in the center of the circle.
For Ecosystem improvements I have a question about the mitigation part of the EIR... For the mitigation do I put the prevention of the disturbance and then ways to recover the impact of the disturbance on the ecosystem?
ms wien for the lab report it say ecosystem sketch what do we suppose to draw?
Mitigation means improvement not prevention. The mitigation is only how to improve the situation. It happened, now how do you fix it.
SKETCH - should include relative size (scale of your drawing), major landmarks (ex. school, roads, fields), rough details of species, a directionality (ie. north, east, south, west arrows)
thanks miss
Iv been having trouble understanding what to do in question 6.observation. do we have to do all of A,B,C,D and E or just a couple. If so which ones do I have to do? I was also wondering what a qualitative discussion is for a and for D how do I turn the information I have from the day we did the eco system experiment into a graph and what do you mean when you say SETS OF DATA in D.
miss i dont really under stand question a on page 65!

Josh G - for your observations - as I wrote on the board in class you need to include sketches of your locations, a titled completed data table, and a bar graph.
Qualitative means observations without numbers. Example, there are many more species in ecoystem one than in ecosystem 2 versus a quantitative (with numbers) observation would be the temperature was 20 degrees Celcius.
Josh G - continued from last comment.
Please read all comments from since the lab report was assigned - I have answered many questions on graphing already. Remember the handout I gave you will be the general template for all lab reports and not everything on it will directly apply to this lab (for instance we are not doing a hypothesis because it doesn't apply to this lab).
In class I wrote out exactly what I wanted (look back in the posts for the picture of the board) and look at the marking scheme in that picture.
Truman - Q A p. 65
Variety means number of different species.
Size would to how big the indidual organisms were.
Compare ecosystem 1 to ecosystem 2 for both of these characteristics and then compare producers to consumes for both of these characteristics.
Let me know if you still don't understand the question.
