Wonderful Wednesday!

Agenda 7ers:

1. Completion of jumping jack lab. -- remember it is a quadruple line graph.
2. Answer analysis questions:

1. 
   
   
   How did your jumping jack rate (the number of jumping jacks per second) change as time passed? How is this shown in your table?
2. 
   
   
   What is the scale you are going to use for the x axis? The y-axis?
3. 
   
   
   What are the variables in this situation?
4. 
   
   
   What is the independent variable?
5. 
   
   
   What is the dependent variable?
6. 
   
   
   Make the appropriate graph to show your data for EACH person that did jumping jacks. How will you set this up?
7. 
   
   
   How do we make points on the graph to represent values of time and distance variables?
8. 
   
   
   What does your graph show about jumping jack rates as time passes?
9. Is the relationship you found between the number of jumping jacks and time easier to see in the table or the graph? Explain your answer.
   
   

3. Create a table to observe your terraqua problem - on the top row we placed, 'soil, moss, radish and soil'

4. Vocabulary in our family:

1. ecosystem: a group of organisms that interact with each other and their environment

2. biome: a geographic area with similar climatic conditions --> interacting flora and fauna and abiotic factors

3. biotic - any living thing in an ecosystem (gazelle, plant, bacteria)

4. abiotic - non living factor in an ecosystem (rock, water, soil, wind)

5. population - group of the same organism living in the same area (herd of zebra)

Tomorrow we are going to look through BIOMES!
