You will be working in groups of 3-4 to create an informational overview poster of one of the terrestrial Canadian

biomes. You will select a specific city or region within your biome to research since each biome is so large.

Tundra Boreal Forest

Temperate Deciduous ForestGrassland (Temperate and Tropical)Desert (Hot and Cold)

Your poster must include:1. Name of the biome and the representative city your group chooses.

2. Name of the srecific city or region within the biome (Ex. Vancouver, BC for the temperate

rainforest biome).3. Content

1.2 Ecosystems — Student Notes

•- a part of a biome in which

___________________

(non-living) factorsinteract with

____________________________(living)

components- Can be many hectares of land, or the size of an old log.

• Within an ecosystem, there are many

Abiotic Interactions in Ecosystems• It is the

__________________

components that allow the

_________________components

to survivein an ecosystem.

Abiotic factors include:•

- produced by green plants & micro-organisms•

- necessary for all life•

- for growth•

- required for photosynthesis•

- contains water & nutrients

Biotic Interactions in Ecosystems• : all organisms that interact within an ecosystem.

___________________

all members of a certain species within an ecosystem.• : all organisms within an ecosystem that have the same structure & who can

reproduce with each other (and produce fertile offspring).

Species can have many types of relationships in a population.•

_____________________

refers to the interaction between the members of two different species.

- one species benefits, one is not affectedEx. Barnacles living on a whale

- both species benefitEx. A bee gathering nectar from a flower

•- one species benefits, the other is harmed

Ex. Hookworm living in dogs

Nichesg Competition and Predation

• : the role an organism has within an ecosystem.— also refers to the environment in which a species prospers

• : occurs when a limited resource is desired by 2 or more individuals in aniche.

— this limits the size & health of individual organisms, & perhaps the population.• : the relationship between the “eaters” & the “eaten”.

____________________have

adaptations to help them catch prey.•

____________________have

adaptations to help avoid predators.Eg. spines & shells, camouflage and mimicry.

Biodiversity in Ecosystems

_______________________

the variety & number of different individuals & species in an ecosystem.— Healthy ecosystems generally have

TYPES OF SYMBIOSIS L__________PROCEDURE: Classify each example:

M = Mutualism: a symbiotic relationship that benefits both organisms.C = Commensalism: a symbiotic relationship that benefits 1 organism

and the other is not affected (not harmed or helped).P = Parasitism: a symbiotic relationship that benefits 1 organism and

harms the other.

EXAMPLES:1. A tick living on a dog.2. The honeyguide bird leading the honey badger to the bees hive; both eat

the honey.3. A tapeworm living in a 10th grade student’s intestines.4. A bird building their nest in a tree.5. The hermit crab carrying the sea anemone on its back.6. The bristle worm living with the hermit crab.7. Head lice living on the human scalp.8. Mistletoe putting its roots into its host tree.9. The ants and the acacia tree living together.10. The egret, an insect eating bird, grazing near a herbivore’s mouth.11. Orchids growing in tall tropical trees; the trees are not harmed but the

orchids get sun.12. Bacteria living on a human’s skin.13. The remora, a type of suckerfish, hitching a ride on a shark, with no

harm to the shark.14. Barnacles living on a whale.15. Bees and flowers.16. Bacteria living in the intestines of a cow to help it break down cellulose.17. The clownfish and the sea anemone.18. A 6 grader and their pet.19. The rhino and the tick bird. The rhino has pests removed by the tick bird

and the tick bird gets nutrients from eating the pests.20. The lichen; a close relationship between a fungus and an algae, that

benefits both.

Science 10 Name:

Block:

Predator-Prey Simulation

Purpose: To study the relationship between predator and prey populations.

Procedure:

1. Each team should mark off a square approximately 50cm per side on their table. This squarerepresents Hoot Woods, where the mice and owls live.

2. You will simulate 25 generations of owls and mice. The mice can be eaten and the owls canstarve. Surviving mice and owls can reproduce.

3. In each generation, the surviving mouse population will double to form the next generation.For example, if six mice are living in the woods and two are caught by an owl, then four micewill survive. These four mice will each produce one offspring, and the next generation willbegin with eight mice. Remember, the number of offspring is always the same number as thenumber of surviving mice. The maximum mouse capacity of Hoot Woods is 300 mice.

4. In order to survive, each owl must catch at least three mice in every generation. If an owldoes not catch three mice, it will starve. For each three mice that an owl catches, itproduces one offspring. For example, if art owl catches eight mice, it will produce twooffspring, making a total of three owls to begin the next generation.

5. At the beginning of each generation, there must be at least three mice and one owl in the

woods. If the populations drop below these numbers (by being eaten or starving), new miceand owls will migrate in.

6. The simulation is played as follows:

a) Place the mouse squares at random in Hoot Woods. Then, from a height of about 30cm,drop the owl square into the woods. Try to hit as many mice as you can in one drop. Whenan owl square fully or partly covers a mouse square, that is a “catch”. If there is morethan one owl in a generation, drop the owl square once for each owl.

b) Remove and count the number of mice caught by each owl. Record the data on the chart.

c) Example: Suppose generation three begins with 20 mice and 2 owls. You make a drop forthe first owl and catch 7 mice. On the second drop, the second owl catches only 2 mice.The owls have caught a total of 9 mice. There are 11 mice left in Hoot Woods, and theyproduce ii offspring. The next generation will start with 22 mice. Because the first owlcaught 7 mice, it produces 2 offspring. The second owl caught only 2 mice, so it starves todeath. The next generation will start with 3 owls.

The data chart for this example would look like this:

Questions:

1. Which population first increased in size?

2. Describe the pattern of the fluctuations in the sizes of the two populations.

3. By looking only at the graph, how can you tell which species is the prey and which is thepredator?

4. Which species attains the greater number of individuals? Why?

5. What do you think would happen to the mouse population in Hoot Woods if the owl were allhunted to extinction? Explain.
