Friday 9/10/10

Today, the first thing that we did in class was Mr. Paek opened up every groups google doc lab report write up. Then he showed us what we did right and wrong so that the groups could correct it over the weekend.

Then, he talked about our upcoming project about the oil spill. He told us to find 10 pictures total, 5 general pictures and 5 pictures of someone else's perspective. But don't print the pictures out you should email yourself the links to the pictures. On Tuesday we will be going to the IMC to work on the project on computers.

After explaining the project he talked to us about Succession, which watched a video and took notes on. Here are some definitions that you need to have.

• Succession: The series of changes an ecosystem goes through over time.
• Primary Succession: Happens when nothing was ever there.
• Secondary Succession: Happens after a natural disaster or drastic change in the ecosystem.
• Pioneer Plants: Grow in ungrown land.
• Climax Community: Final stable stage of succession.

Lastly, he gave us the homework which was to find the 10 pictures, pages 29-30 in the UP packet (use the textbook for help) and the pages are due on wednesday.
