5/17/10 Biomes

We went over the first of four sections of the Ecology unit as we discussed biomes.

Notes for the unit, Ecology , are available in several formats:

• Notes 2 slides per page in color, large format for viewing.
• 3 slides per page in black & white with room for notes on one side.
• 6 slides per page in black and white, for economical printing.
• The entire presentation, with the media and a viewer in compressed (approx 111 MB) format.
• Link to a textbook for the current unit (approx 17 MB)that follows the course presented in class.
• Worksheet on the Ecology unit.

Students that have to make up labs can use this list to help search for the actual labs in order to make up any missing lab reports. All lab reports must be turned in by June 1 and be satisfactorily done to be eligible for the Regents test. I have calculated that students may be missing up to 4 labs and still have enough lab time to take the test. Students have been notified in class as to which labs they are missing.

Notes for the unit, Populations & Communities, are available in several formats:

• Notes 2 slides per page in color, large format for viewing.
• 3 slides per page in black & white with room for notes on one side.
• 6 slides per page in black and white, for economical printing.
• The entire presentation, with the media and a viewer in compressed (approx 41 MB) format.
