Intro to
Ecosystems
TSWBAT
1.Monitor events
and changes in the milkweed bugs:
Observe the feeding,
drinking, movement, mating, egg laying, hatching and molting
and record observations in lab folders
2.
Read p.
64-68 Miniecosystems create charts to keep track of the organisms
that are in the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, their food
sources, and potential predators and
observe
changes in terrestrial & aquatic Mini-ecosystems
3.
Reading: Populations
and Ecosystems: Milkweed Bugs p.3-5. Define words in bold in
journals (Diversity of Life: The Insect Empire-p.55-59)

vocabulary to notebook:
Populations and Ecosystems
Vocabulary 1-8
to understand the roles within an ecosystem and the possible limits and
adaptations organisms make in order to survive

Prey and Predators
TSWBAT
1.Add vocabulary to notebook: Populations and Ecosystems
Vocabulary 9-17
to understand the roles within an ecosystem and the possible limits and
adaptations organisms make in order to survive
2.
Science journal- list all
the food you ate for lunch and then break down where the food came
from naming the organism and whether it is a producer, consumer, or
decomposer
Example- Ham & Cheese
sandwich with mustard & lettuce on wheat bread
Ham- Pig (consumer)
Cheese- Milk- cow (consumer)- & Bacteria (decomposer)
Lettuce- lettuce plant (producer)
Mustard- mustard plant (producer)
Wheat bread- wheat plant (producer)
3.
Go to:
Foss Populations and Ecosystems Website to work with a simulated
population of walking sticks that exhibit color variation. They use
two levels of the multimedia simulation to investigate the impact of
predation on the insects in three different environments
A. Multimedia-

enter program- continue...
B. Walking Sticks- Eat Insects- try both modes of games
C. Walking Sticks- Find Insects in Three Environments- try all three
games- in both modes
D. New Breeding Rules- read about breeding rules and then play the
game to see how the size of the population changes
