SEV3: Interaction of Living things:
How do organisms interact with each other in an ecosystem?
Today we are reviewing 30 minutes for GHSGT.
Afterwards, we need to:
* Complete Genetics Centers
*work on owl box
* Continue Interaction of Living things in the ecosystem.
it's oka, but it gets the point across

Now this one is much better..Ted talks octopus (Bioluminesence, camoflauge and micmicry)

Okay...not related to ecosystems but this is related to what some of our projects are involved.

Hi all my Biology students!
Today you are going on a webquest to unravel the mystery of inherited traits! At the end of your adventure, you will be able to answer these essential question to life, the universe and to the pursuit of happiness!
SB2: How are traits passed down from parent to offspring?
Key Questions:
1) What are the roles of DNA and RNA play in passing down inherited traits?
2) What factors determine whether a gene is passed from parent to offspring?
3) Why do I look like my Mom but I am colored-blind like my Dad?
4) I have a relative or friend who has a genetic condition like Autism or Down Syndrome, what are these and how did they get it? Is it contagious?

Alright, Happy hunting!

SB1: Cell Growth and Division
Here's the Cell Growth and Division power Point. save to "H" drive. The regular information one and the student version that you will download to your H'drive and email me the answers to the slides.Email me the answers to the EQ's in a different font.

SB1- Cell Growth and Cell Division
Okay Voki -rama begins!
I) Here, review this graduation test power point about cells.
II) Afterwards, create a voki that has the following information.
a. Defines Mitosis Cell Division in Eukaryotic cells
b. States the names of the phases for Cell Growth and Division
c. Summarizes what happens in one of those phases
d. Concludes with the final out come of Mitosis
Have Fun!

SB1: Cells
Key concepts: The students will recognize that all living things must grow, replicate and divide inherited information. Not all cells divide by the same method. Mitosis and Meiosis are two ways how eukaryotic cells divide.
You will be creating a graphic organizer, voki or animation that compares and contrasts the wo kinds of cell division: Mitosis and Meiosis. Due Wednesday October 28.
The animation must answer:
1) What is Mitosis and Meiosis?
2) In what kinds of organisms undergo that particular cell division?
3) It must show the phases and the most important step that takes place in that cell division phase.
4) The final product at the end of the cycle.
Give an two sentence explanation of what you have learned from Mitosis. Give a two sentence explantaion of what you have learned from Meiosis.

Hi,
We are studying keystone species and the niche they fill in the environment. Download this web quest to begin your search.

SB-1: Cells- Students will investigate the structure and function of living things.
Key Concepts: Students will be extracting DNA from plant cells (Bananas) and animal cells (their cheek) do recognize that the genetic information in the form of nucleotides are located on the chromosomes found inside the nucleus.

Unit: Ecology- Ecosystems, Interaction and Biotic and Abiotic relationships.
Unit Key Questions: a. How do biogeochemical cycles including hydrologic, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon cycles move through the ecosytem? b. How do I know that energy is not recycled in ecosystems? Today
SEV1-3: EQ: Why is studying a barn owl’s habitat and behavior important to Ecologists and Ornithologists?
*students will investigate barn owl characteristics, food webs/food chains and adaptations to determine the owl's niche, the owl as a keystone species in certain habitats, and be able to recognize some kinds of owls found in Georgia.
Key Questions for today- How does dissecting an owl pellet 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.

Hi Everyone.
Here is the webquest that you will be working on. You are ornthologists "scientists who study bird characterisitics and behavior". You will search a few sites to gain information about the physical characterisitics of the barn owl, predator and prey relationship" and food preference. You will analyze the content of an owl pellet to deduce the quality and quantity of food choice.
Please download this study guide and website pages. Be sure you save the packets into your H drive plus...print for you and your partner a copy of the owl pellet dissection lab.
(email document to me at my gmail account when you are done.)
