Hunger games final Analysis

1. In this unit we did a lab that represented evolution and growth over a period of time. This lab simulated over time how populations survived and reproduced and how they evolved.

2. The knucklers were the best for capturing food because they didn't die off and they reproduced a lot.

3. The population evolved because the different birds and their population size either increased or decreased. The knucklers evolved the most because they survived the most and which meant that they reproduced the most giving opportunity for their species and other species to grow. For example knucklers population size was the most at the end with a total of 14 while the pinchers had 6 and the stumpy's had 1.

4. Year one, instead of having all food their was plastic which really made it random and changed the population size of everything. Also the location of all the food and if it was spread out or not was random.

5. Yes it would have been different. I feel like if the food size was differnt it could have really effected how the population grew and ate. It would have been easier for some and difficult for others deoending on the bird itself. THis could have happened in nature like if a animal can't eat another animal anymore casue it went extinct then they woud have to try a differnt sized animal which would be differnt and more difficult.

6. THere would definetly be a difference if there was incompoleyed dominance. THere could have been a huge change in the fact that if there was less knucklers to start out with and more stumpys and different amount of food it would have a lot of change.

7. The relationship between Natural selection and Evolution is that without natural selection then evolution would change. natural selection plays a huge part in evolution because animals adapt naturaly to the different areas that atural selection gives.

8. Individuals will survive by having  job and paying for their food and will reproduce by having a mate that they will live with.

9.In life plants and animals evolve. Evolution occurs with both phentotype and genotype because reproduction changes the genotyoes of the new born and the phenotypes are the physical characteristics.

10. I have no new questions that we have already learned

Unit 7 Reflection

In this Unit the main topic was about Ecology. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with one another in a Ecosystem. In this Unit we learned the different levels of organization and how those levels contributed in the world. We learned about food chains and food webs and how Primary producers are at the bottom of the food chain. We also learned about populations an d hoe each population can reach a carrying capacity. WE also did some worksheets in class and also a project which was based on a ecosystem somewhere in the world and we had to list the food web its threats, the animal and plants, and what we as humans do to help. WE recently watched a movie in class called Bag It which was a movie about plastic. It told us how plastic is used inour everyday life and is really harmful to the environment. It also tought us that if we don't recycle it it would be even worse and becaome a manmade toxic called doxinide. It also said the different types of percentages in what gets recycled of the stuff tht we think is recyclable. THe lowest I saw was 0% and the highest I saw was around 24%. It was amazing the percentage of plastic that doesn't get recycled which ends up harming our environment.

I want to learn more about plastic and dit's chemicals and what species have gone extinct because of plastic. The thing I still have a question on is where does all the plastic go because if allthe plastic goes in the dirt then where does that dirt go? I wonder how is plastic really that usefu when it is harming our environment so much.

We recently did a project on enviroments and their ecosystems and for my group we found out some really mid blowing information. Are project was based on the coral reefs in Fiji. We found out that Fiji has a lot of threats where most of them are because of man made activities. The thing that went well in our project was how we collaborated with one another and helped each other out in areas we needed help or wanted help. We also came to agreement on many things and were all happy about the outcome. Our collaboration was good. We talked about everything that we were doig and diciussed it woth out group members to better understnasd the project and the Fiji Coral Reef. In my "test" I got results back theat told me I was  alittle aggressive and a little passive.
