Take 2 minutes or less to sort.

Sort the terms below based on whether you think you

• know them, (could respond to free response questions using this term and use in context... if it takes you long to decide, then you don't know it!)

• are familiar with them (might struggle interacting with different parts of the definition or writing freely with the term, but have an idea of the meaning)

• do not know them at all, and couldn't make a solid guess at their meaning

Bold words will be introduced within this assignment but you may know them from elsewhere, italic words are recent, plain text are old or 'expected general vocabulary' (and therefore your highest priority to learn soon!)

All these words will be reinforced today so you do not need to start writing definitions yet.

Sort the biomes below based on whether you think you

• know them, (could respond to free response questions using this term and use in context)

• are familiar with them (might struggle interacting with different parts of the definition or writing freely with the term)

• do not know them

Bold words are new and you will learn them within this assignment so don't feel the need to research them. Italic words are recent, plain text are old (and therefore your highest priority to learn soon!) All these words will be reinforced today so you do not need to start writing definitions yet.

For biomes: Knowing means knowing from memory their general

• precipitation (low, moderate, high), and eventually seasonality

• temperature (low, moderate, and high), and eventually seasonality

• general latitude (arctic, equatorial, or 'somewhere between') and eventually geographic references like countries

But memorizing these facts about biomes is less important than your ability to use the skills of graph analysis we will exercise today to learn information about the biomes.

INDEPENDENT Basic Vocabulary REVIEW: Match the term to its definition.

If you have trouble here, click the mark question in the upper right corner so you know where to find these words to write them in your notes later, or to help when you are writing FRQ and responding to items.

INDEPENDENT Basic Vocabulary REVIEW: Match the level of biological organization to the example. These terms should be memorized by this point!

INDEPENDENT Vocabulary/example review

Sort the concepts into abiotic and biotic factors. If you're stuck, check the question above this.

Match the vocabulary with the images, until you earn 100%, above.

From recall, without writing 'side by side', write at least TWO sentences or questions connecting, comparing, and/or contrasting with the tundra biome you saw. Try to focus your writing on what fascinated you visually or made you make connections to what we've learned so far.

Go here: BiomanBio Succession Game

Choose PRIMARY SUCCESSION and play the game. The game works. If you're struggling, check that you've followed instructions. Do not play SECONDARY yet.

Copy-paste your writing from question 19, and add information from the BiomanBio game. Don't copy-paste or write directly what the game said; just do a quickwrite! If you need to go back to find vocabulary from the game or a peer, use bold or capslock to indicate your thought process.

Go on the Grasslands biome field trip below, and complete the following tasks.

Go here: BiomanBio Succession Game

Choose SECONDARY SUCCESSION and play the game. The game works. If you're struggling, check that you've followed instructions.

When you are done playing the game, write what you learned here. Don't copy-paste or write directly what the game said; just do a quickwrite! If you need to go back to find vocabulary from the game or a peer, use bold or capslock or another color to indicate your thought process.

Relevant Essential Knowledge:

There are two main types of ecological succession: primary and secondary succession.

Succession in a disturbed ecosystem will affect the total biomass, species richness, and net productivity over time.

These words are new, but you should be able to use the descriptions and your recall of the recent games to match successfully - or the meanings of the words in regular life, or the prefix/suffix.

Sort the stages of pond succession using the simulation above. Then, DESCRIBE the stages of pond succession in your own words, using the images above as your guidance. COMPARE to the other forms of succession you have studied.

REVISE your previous understanding by copy/pasting what you have already written and reported about your succession observations and ADDING or clarifying information here using bold and color-coding.

If you have hand-written notes already, or would prefer to hand-write notes here and click the + in the textbox, image, take a photo button, you can do so.
