2 Tasks Today
Task 1 -
Log into BUZZ. We will be using it throughout the summer and into next year. We need to get it going, so today you will mke sure you can login. You need to check through the content and make sure you have Science. If you do not have science, please write your name on the board. For directions to log into BUZZ, please see the BUZZ tab on the side of the page or Click Here

Task 2 -
We are piloting a program (testing it out) to see if this is something we want to have available to us next year. We just completed an ecosystem unit and so I want you to compare what we did to the program below. This program is just about food webs.
I want you to keep 5 things in mind:
1) Do you like the program?
2) How easy is the program to use?
3) Do you think you would learn more using this program than not using this program (is it useful)?
4) How much help would you need to complete the program?
5) Would you prefer to do this with a partner, but working on seperate computers or by yourself?
You will be writing 3 paragraphs to answer these questions TOMORROW.

For those who did not get a notes sheet on Wednesday, June 5, from the sub, please do those notes first. Ms. Byles has them for you. If you need to make up centers from June 6, please do those as well. You are expected to have completed 3 centers. Please do that work first !!!!
I know a few (and I literally mean 3 people) have finished all the work from when I was gone last AND turned it in. For those that have, you can skip over the June 5 notes and centers and move onto the work for today.

Activity 1
PowerPoint for test review - Click Here.
Just go through it to make sure you are cool for tomorrow. Write down any questions you have.
Activity 2
Write 3 questions you think would be on the test and answer them.
Activity 3 - Click Here
Choose a webquest that would be of interest to you. Some we have done, most we have not. I am going to allow for your class to choose the next unit. Please look at least 3 different webquests and decide if it is something you are interested. Please tell me the webquests you looked at and whether or not you think we should do that. I expect 1 paragraph (4-6 sentences) about each webquest you look at and why or why not we should do it.
Please note-ignore the grade levels, they are based on Utah Standards so they don't apply to us.
Example (we already did this webquest):
I really like the Phases of the Moon webquest. The reason I liked this webquest is becuase I have always been interested in how we see the moon change. It has never made complete sense to me and so I want to learn about it. I looked at the webquest and it seems like I could do this work. It will challenge me, but it is interesting and exciting.

Hello students. I know you all missed me; don't worry I missed you too. I will be back tomorrow though. I decided to post-pone the test until Tuesday. I realized it wasn't fair if I didn't do the review with you. For today, please use regular lined paper to answer all the questions and turn it into the guest teacher at the end of the day.
Activity 1 - Carrying Capacity and Satiation in Predator-Prey Relationships
You will first look up a definiton to help you understand the assignemtn. Once that is done, you will be runngin a carrying capacity simulation. Answer the questions that go with the simulation.
Satiation Definition - Click Here
Simulation - Click Here
In case you didnt understand, satiaiton just means that something is beyond full. Also, equalibrium just means balanced.
Activity 4 - Food Web Activity
You need to complete 2 of the food webs from the website. Please draw them on your paper and make sure your arrows are going in the correct direction.

- In the absence of predators, what happens to the population of herbivores? Why? Is this reasonable?
- Try the simulator with various carrying capacity values for both options, with and without satiation and note the differences?
- What is the effect of carrying capacity on equilibrium densities? And how does this carrying capacity affect the stability of the population?
- How do your conclusions from this satiation model differ from your conclusions from the non-satiation model?
- Change the satiation value of the predator and try to repeat the experiment as asked in problem 4 and note down the differences? Try the higher values of satiation and lower values of satiation

Activity 3 - Graphing
Using the data in the table below, make a graph illustrating the changes
in a gray bat population of a single colony. Don’t
forget to label your graph. Use the graph you’ve create to answer the
questions .
Data
Year 1982 1986 1988 1990 1991 1994 1997 1998 1999 2000
Number of Bats 400 453 253 481 752 1101 1949 1552 1430 3768
- How many times has the population decreased since it started being measured in 1982?
- What are some reasons the population could decrease? (give at least 3)
- The colony was not measured in 1995. Using your graph, estimate how many bats were in the colony that year.
- When do you think this colony started being protected?
Activity 4 - Food Web Activity
You need to complete 2 of the food webs from the website. Please draw them on your paper and make sure your arrows are going in the correct direction.
