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.
