1. Description: Begin looking at the specific species interaction relationships. This is in the form of a multimedia notes/lecture period on PowerPoint. Goals: Examine how interactions between a species and its environment define a species niche. Explain how a species adapts to its niche.

2. Objectives: Day 6 I.List and Describe some of the adaptations of species use in predation symbiosis.

3. Warm Up Q = Worksheet A = none

4. And you thought school was tough Species Interactions - Symbiosis

5. How does this relate to trophic levels?

6. Trophic Levels Review 100% 10% 1% 0.1 % ENERGY

7. Vocabulary: (Think) Define these words in your notes as best you can. New Terms: Predator- Prey- Mimicry- Parasite- Endoparasite- Ectoparasite- Host- Previous Terms: Producer- Consumer- Herbivore- Carnivore- Decomposer- Omnivore- Scavenger-

8. Vocabulary: (Pair) Compare your definitions with your neighbor. Improve upon each others. New Terms: Predator- Prey- Mimicry- Parasite- Endoparasite- Ectoparasite- Host- Previous Terms: Producer- Consumer- Herbivore- Carnivore- Decomposer- Omnivore- Scavenger-

9. Vocabulary: (Share) Discuss as a class the definitions you developed and why. New Terms: Predator- Prey- Mimicry- Parasite- Endoparasite- Ectoparasite- Host- Previous Terms: Producer- Consumer- Herbivore- Carnivore- Decomposer- Omnivore- Scavenger-

10. I.Adaptations of Predators Predation: Predator A.Organism who eat other organisms B.Secondary Consumers C.Carnivores D.Adaptations: –Speed –Sharp Teeth or Beak –Claws or Talons –Strength –Camouflage/Stealth –Good Senses –Group Hunting

11. II. Adaptations of Prey A.Organism eaten by other organisms B.Primary & Secondary Consumers C.Herbivores & Carnivores D.Adaptations: –Speed –Size –Poison –Odor –Good Senses –Shelter –Mimicry (2 types): Physical Chemical

12. Mimicry: imitating another organism as a means of defense or stealth What is this?

13. Think about… I. Objective: List and Describe some the adaptations of species use in predation symbiosis. You will be designing a predator and prey that are competing for survival. Consider the adaptations of predators and prey and what each will need in order to capture or evade the other.
