Current Events Plus +++++ Homework

First of all for homework there is the current event, which must be about a topic in biology; find an article online using one of the sites in the side bar, and be prepared to summarize it for the class and answer any questions from the class about it--you may use a 3x5 card for notes, but not read directly from the article.  Try for a 3-minute presentation.

From the Textbook/Study Guide:
Chapter 4.3 and 4.4  Land & Aquatic Biomes (2 sections) to complete by next Monday--No extra homework on Friday other than to change the water according to last Friday's directions, and to make observations.  Be on the lookout for :  different niches in your ecosystem, any ecological succession (when a new species starts to become more dominant), food chain & web, biotic & abiotic factors, everything we discussed in class, actually.  Keep notes.  Write that poem/cinquain about the pond observations.   Also observe your vials containing the limiting nutrient.

Keep up with the vocabulary for chapter 4: http://quizlet.com/4992488/prentice-hall-biology-chapter-4-flash-cards/
