    This document provides an overview of a lesson on ecology and global systems. It covers four main topics: (1) ecology and why it is important, (2) methods used in ecological studies like observation and experimentation, (3) biotic and abiotic factors, and (4) modeling global systems. It includes key questions for each topic and introduces concepts like the biosphere, ecology, species, and population. The student task is to complete a chart matching terms from the lesson with their definitions and strategies for remembering the meanings. It directs students to consider how global systems interact and affect ecosystems, and features that could impact an ecosystem.

    Task 1: Introduction to Global Systems
    Term Definition How I’m Going to Remember
    the Meaning

    1. Biosphere consists of all life on Earth and all All parts of earth that life exists
    parts of Earth in which life exists

    2. Ecology the scientific study of the Scientific study interactions between


    interactions between organisms organisms and their surroundings
    and between organisms and their
    surroundings.

    5. Community a group of different populations Group of different populations that


    that live together in a defined live together.
    area

    6. Ecosystem all of the organisms that live an ecosystem includes the


    in a place, together with their organisms exchanging energy in an
    physical environment environment.

    7.Biotic factor any living part of the Anything that is the living part of the
    environment environment

    8. Abiotic factor any nonliving part of the the prefix A- means “without,” and
    environment bio- means “life”: abiotic = nonliving.

    Task 2:

    biosphere
    atmosphere

    hydrosphere geosphere

    2. Global systems interact in a variety of ways to affect ecosystems. Global financial,


    economic, and cultural systems may require the continued destructions of ecosystems to
    sustain themselves, whereas legal systems may push for the renewal and conservation
    of certain ecosystem.
    3. The features that could affect the ecosystem such as climate change, the geology of the
    area, and presence of other organism or other living things.
