Wednesday, Mar. 25th

2263/25/15 Wed.L.T.: I can categorize individual, population, community, ecosystem, and abiotic factors as I watch a documentary of wildlife in Africa. I can also draw connections between organisms, abiotic factors, and human impact.DO NOW: An ecosystem is a combo of the communities that live in it and the abiotic (non-living) factors that characterize that area. Think of our school. What populations interact here and what abiotic factors are present?……………………………..Reflection: Did I participate in filling out my right hand side while watching the doc? What thoughts and questions do I have?
