Chapter 1 Notes Intro to Environmental Science Environment: the natural world around us, creates a complex web with humanity that cannot be separated Environmental science: a blend of natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities Goals are to learn: How nature works How the environment affects us How we affect the environment How to deal with environmental problems How to live more sustainably Ecology is a major offshoot It studies organisms and their relationships to each other and the natural world around them Different from environmentalism Environmentalism is more political and social focused than science focused Sustainability: ability of Earth?s natural systems and human cultural systems to live sufficiently for an indefinite amount of time

Chapter 1 Key Issues ? This is Geography The Goal: The goal of Key Issues is to build understanding of the text, generate a study guide for later use, and increase retention or memory of what we learn in class and what you read at home. This will make your time spent working on AP Human Geo more efficient and effective. This assignment is designed using research- based best practice for reaching the goal.

AP BIOLOGY NOTES ON ECOLOGY (CHAPTERS 50 ? 55) CHAPTER 50 ? INTRODUCTION TO ECOLOGY AND THE BIOSPHERE YOU MUST KNOW: The role of abiotic factors in the formation of biomes. Features of freshwater and marine biomes Characteristics of the major terrestrial biomes NOTES: WHAT DOES ECOLOGY STUDY? Ecology ? the Study of Interactions Between Organisms and the Environment Organisms all live in complex environment that include: Abiotic components ? The nonliving components of the environment such as water, light, temperature, nutrients, soil. Biotic components ? the living components of the environment such as other organisms as foods, other resources, or predators. These environmental factors limit the geographic range (distribution) and the abundance of species.

3.2 Energy and Ecosystems I will wait until everyone is in their seats and has only a piece of paper and a pen/pencil and your homework on your desk. Again, the expectation is that there is no talking during the quiz. Talking will result in your quiz not being collected. Daily Quiz Name the ecosystem you created for homework List all 10 biotic and 5 abiotic factors Which biotic and abiotic factor did you remove? What are the consequences of it being removed? When you finish your quiz, please collect your assignments by the door. Daily Quiz Question Content Objective Students will? Follow the path energy takes in an ecosystem. Distinguish between producer, consumer, and decomposer. Model a trophic pyramid Demonstrate the first and second law of thermodynamics.
