Reviewing Population Ecology & Introducing How Species Interact

During E block students compiled a list of all the concepts and words we have learned so far in chapter 35. After this students looked up information on the three main modes of interaction in biological communities (competition, predation & symbiotic relationships). Students then taught each of their section to the class.

During F block students finished the world population data scavenger hunt and we got a little side tracked. We looked at google maps to see where many of the countries they are learning about are located, discussed the British colonization of India and how that influenced infrastructure compared to nations that were part of the USSR and even listened to the anthem of the USSR. Despite our tangent we managed to get back on track and finish with notes on sections 35.4.

Homework for both classes:
Create a visual that contains all the bold, blue and purple words/concepts from section 35.5. This is due in class on Monday.
