It's Monday Again!

Handouts
The number one thing we had to do was to hand in our alien posters, so if you didn't finish yet make sure you get them in by tomorrow. We also got a lot of things back. Including, a little sheet of paper that had a bunch of different ways to study, our grade sheets, our leaf right up, or lab 58, our notes, and our stamp sheets.

The Big Test Tomorrow
We spent a lot of the day reviewing things for the test, asking Mrs. Stein any questions we had, and making sure we knew everything. There is a study guide located on pages 1 and 2 of our pink packets.

Chapter 3-The Biosphere
Basically the main things we need to know are the ecological terms;
Ecology
Biosphere
Species
Population
Community
Ecosystem
Biosphere
We also need to know how to label a food chain/web, know what percentage of heat is lost as it continues on to the next organism, the effects of an alien species, be able to explain what oil spills effect.

Chapter 4- Ecosystems and Communities
What are biotic and abiotic factors and how do they influence the ecosystem, what do these do to communities;
Competition
Predation
Symbiosis
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
be able to explain succession, define biome and recognize the ten we talked located in the unit packet.

Chapter 5-Humans in the Biosphere
List the characteristics of a population, identify current threats to biodiversity, and identify factors that limit population growth

Chapter 6-Humans in the biodiversity
What is biodiversity and what is its value, what are current threats to biodiversity, what is the concern of Global warming and how did it happen, what are the causes, effects and possible solutions to
Biological magnification
DDT
ozone layer depletion
CFC's acid rain
Pollution
And, research the local issue of deer overpopulation.

Ways to Study
Some helpful ways to study are to look through the textbook, use the study guide, be able to explain all of this stuff to someone your having a conversation with, and use the little white sheet of paper, look at your notes, go to the review session in room 374 at 7:00 am. tomorrow. On the little white sheet of paper is a way to get you to a website that will help you study that also includes a mini game of jeopardy. There are two ways to get to the home page; one way is to go to the gbs homepage, click on departments, science, biology, STS biology 163, review. Another way is to type in http://gbhweb.glenbrook225.org/gbs/science/stsbio/revsheet.htm the user name is dst225\biology and the password is gotitans. Make sure you study and the test will be easy. Just remember don't tell anybody about what is on the test, a few questions people might ask are, How was the test? It was fine just make sure you studied. What was on the test? I don't remember, or the stuff that was on the quiz.
