Week of: 9/23/24

*for additional curriculum information, please visit the district's resource High School Pacing Guides  or Georgia Standards of Excellence

Course Name: Modified Environmental Science

Monday 


Standards:SEV1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the flow of energy and cycling of matter within an ecosystem. 

  • a. Develop and use a model to compare and analyze the levels of biological organization including organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere.

  • b. Develop and use a model based on the Laws of Thermodynamics to predict energy transfers throughout an ecosystem (food chains, food webs, and trophic levels). (Clarification statement: The first and second law of thermodynamics should be used to support the model.) 

LT: I am learning how energy is transferred in an ecosystem. 

SC: 

-I can show the correct flow of energy in a food chain

-I can differentiate between a food chain and a food web. 

-I can differentiate between an autotroph and a heterotroph. 

-I can describe/give an example of a producer, consumer and decomposer. 

-I know how much energy is passed from one trophic level to the next. (10% rule) 

Lesson/Activity: 

  1. Daily 10/Vocab Review 

  2. Finish notes from Monday (Energy Flow in Ecosystems) 

  3. Energy Pyramid Graphic Organizer

  4. Energy Pyramid Practice WS
