Thursday and Friday Update

Yesterday in class, we collected homework and went over the difference between how energy flows through a food web and matter is recycled. Refer to the diagrams on pages 11 and 13 of the reading, "Matter and Energy."
We reviewed the Food Web Connections Game that we played on Thursday, Sept 17. We examined how as a model it did a good job of illustrating how a food web can be affected by the loss of key organisms and how it didn't do as good a job of showing the direct interactions between organisms within the web. We will revisit this game later in the unit after we revise it to more accurately fit the food web we are studying.
No Homework for the weekend.
