Description
Product Description: Getting kids into the field is unfortunately not so easy all the time. This lab will bring the field to them. This activity (geared towards APES, AP Biology, or AICE marine students) will have your kids will examining photos from 3 seperate rocky intertidal zone ecosystems - here in Flagler county (see preview download above). The activity comes with a directions PPT, that also has tips on how to count all of the algae, and the dead barnacle shells, as well as how to identify common organisms such as the limpet. Students count the organisms present in each quadrant of the photo, and log the data on the provided data spreadsheet (or have them create their own). The activity wraps up with data analysis questions that utilizes content from unit 2 and 3, see preview photos. These questions, the whole PPT, is / are fully editable.
*The new and upcoming AICE AS curriculum / text / syllabi will require students to perform the Simpson's diversity index calculation, so I've included this resource as an AICE marine resource.
Vocabulary Used in This Resource:
Quadrant, abiotic factors, carrying capacity, mussels, limpets, barnacles, ecological tolerance, populations, generalist / specialist species, adaptations, distribution (of species), Simpson's diversity index (and a calculation of this index for one of the 3 sites)
