Unit 9:
Ecology
Like so much we've seen this year, ecology is all about energy flow. We'll dive into photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the carbon cycle. You'll learn the role that humans play in global warming and actions we can take to limit the change that's already happening. We'll look at classic food web ecology and the 10% rule of transferring energy within a food web.
Essential Questions:
What can we do to mitigate climate change?
How does energy flow through ecosystems?
What's the relationship between biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems?
