Look at the model.
What does the hawk eat?
- frogs
- rats
- rabbits
Who are interest holders?
A person or group who holds an interest on a specific topic or issue.
Usually, they will be or are impacted by the topic or issue.
What is a component?
A living or nonliving thing that is part of a system.
Look at Graph 1.
What is the graph measuring on the y-axis?
Population (in billions)
Look at Graph 2.
What is the graph measuring on the y-axis?
Number of students
Look at the model.
Assume the hawk is a keystone species. What do you predict happened to the system if the hawk were removed?
a. The system will do well
b. The system will stay the same
c. The system will do bad
c. The system will do bad
1. impact on the ecosystem
2. impact on the interest holders
What are examples of limiting factors?
- food
- water
- shelter
- predation
- disease
Look at Graph 1.
What is happening to the population between years 1800 and 2020?
The population is increasing/ growing
Look at Graph 2.
Fill in the blanks: Most groups have more _________ but Group D has more ________________.
Most groups have more BOYS but Group D has more GIRLS.
Look at the model. How would the components change without the grasshopper?
The frog population would decrease.
The hawk will no longer get food from the frog, so they will eat more mouse and rabbits.
VHS wants to improve the air quality of the school. For their conservation plan, they will require everyone to plants trees everyday after school.
Who are the interest holders?
- students
- teachers
- principle/ other admin
- parents
- club advisors
- coaches
If an ecosystem has high biodiversity, it means it has _________________.
many of different kinds of species
Look at Graph 1.
What best explains why the population changed?
New soil makes crops grow faster and bigger, so there is more food to support more people
Look at Graph 2.
What is the main difference between Group B and Group C?
Group B has more boys than Group C.
Look at the model.
What would to the rabbit and frog if the model were removed from the model?
Both the rabbit and frog population would decrease.
VHS wants to improve the air quality of the school. For their conservation plan, they will require everyone to plants trees everyday after school.
Assume that Ms.B's students are willing to stay afterschool everyday to plant trees. What compromises (tradeoffs) will they have if the plan moves forward?
They will compromise the following:
- afterschool clubs
- practice
- homework time
- responsibilities at home
BUT they will improve the air quality of their school.
What is a keystone species?
A species that has a lot of connections to other components in an ecosystem.
