Ecosystems & Biodiversity

Hello! Welcome to the ETE blog.  Save this URL in your book-marks - we will use the blog frequently to access course materials.  Posts are put up chronologically, so newest information will be at the top of the page & scroll down for old content. Activity 1: Ecosystems: A General Overview Watch one or both of the videos.  Take notes in your book. I know Crash Course is a bit 2016.  I'm sorry.  Crash Course Ecosystems (video) Activity 2: Abiotic & Biotic Factors  Watch this, and take notes in your book. Bozeman Science: Abiotic & Biotic Factors Activity 3: Upping the Observation of Abiotic Factors Taroona Rainfall Data BOM Taroona Daily Max Temp BOM Explore the aerial, consider which abiotic factors this informs: Activity 4: Biodiversity: A General Overview CSIRO What is Biodiversity & Why is it Importan t (video) Bozeman Science (video) Atlas of Living Australia (website) Explore species and distribution across Australia)

Light & Plant Growth

Image
Light is obviously a limiting factor on photosynthesis: without it plants cannot take up carbon dioxide to form energy.   The three main attributes of light that concern plants are 1. The Quality: Including wavelength (colour)  2. The Quantity: How much exposure they receive (intensity) 3.The Duration: How long each period of light exposure goes for Activity 1: Photosynthesis and light availability   Watch the video below and see how availability of light (winter vs summer) limits the photosynthetic activity of plants (darker shades of green). In turn, reflect on how this must impact the overall food web and ecosystem of an area.  ACTIVITY 2: PLANT GROWTH AND LIGHT Watch this video The Effect of Light on Plant Growth . Dot point list (in your book) a quick summary of some of the ways that light impacts plant growth ACTIVITY 3: PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND WAVELENGTH Plant Growth and Wavelength Virtual Lab (requires Flash) What to Do: 1.  Run the simulator using ...
