LTLT#3:  I can develop, communicate, and justify an evidence-based explanation for the evolution of organisms and environments by analyzing and interpreting data from the fossil record. LT: I can define species, population, community & ecosystems Criteria for Success: I can complete my notes I can create an ecosystem drawing of Eagle County Agenda: Warm up Quick Notes Populations Practice Ecosystem Drawing Debrief Exit Ticket: Word Web of the LT terms    Warm up: look at the pictures, write down 3 differences and 3 similarities *Share out LTLT, LT & CS Quick Notes                                          Populations Practice Ecosystem Drawing Debrief: What did you notice about the relationship between species, populations, communities and ecosystems? *how do they all relate? Exit Ticket -Create a word web of these terms. (last question on notes)    NOTES: Daily Learning Target: I can define species, population, community, and ecosystem. SPECIES A ____________________________ is a group of organisms that can _____________________ __________________________________________________________. Three examples of species 1. 2. 3.

Based on what you just learned, place the words:  SPECIES, COMMUNITY,ECOSYSTEM, and POPULATION in order from the smallest item to the largest.                 Species, _______________________, _____________________, ____________________                                                                                                                                                          Smallest: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Largest:    Populations Practice Name _________________________________Date ______________________ Class Period: __________ POPULATIONS, COMMUNITIES, AND ECOSYSTEMS Practice LT: I can define species, population, community and ecosystem. Due Friday 11/14/14 Instructions: Draw a colorful, neat and accurate picture describing the FOREST ECOSYSTEM here in Eagle County. You can use the back of this paper, or another piece. Staple this instruction sheet to your work. Make sure to include the following items: 1.     Draw and label at least 10 species or populations that live in the ecosystem. 2.     Draw and label at least 3 ABIOTIC  (non-living) factors in the ecosystem 3.     Draw and label all BIOTIC (living) factors. 4.     Within your community, describe at least three species interactions. (Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, competition)
