OF TOPIC/ OBJECTIVES LESSON SUBTOPIC May 7 ECOLOGY Define the terms 14-19 used in ecology CONTENT Definition of a number of terms used in ecology like ecosystem, niche , producers, consumers (primary, secondary and tertiary) Components of ecosystems (abiotic and biotic components) METHOD -Discussion - Guided discovery -chalk &talk -question and answer TEACHING AIDS chalk REFS 1. Stone R.H & Cozens A.B (1981). New Biology for Tropical Schools COMMENT

State the Components of ecosystems Food Chains Define food chains and food webs

Trophic levels

Define a trophic level

Students should make a bulletFood chains and point list of ways in food webs

which energy may be lost between trophic levels and explain why food chains are commonly limited in length.

Students should be able to suggest food chains in various different habitats. Trophic levels and energy movement in trophic levels Ecological pyramids (Pyramid of numbers, biomass and energy)

May 21-26

Ecological Pyramids

Define the various ecological pyramids Students should should be able to explain why pyramids of biomass (which are of typical pyramid shape) provide a more accurate representation of energy relationships between organisms in a food chain or food web than pyramids of numbers

Methods of

(many of which are not the typical pyramid shape). Students should be able to list methods used in collecting organisms in an ecosystem Students should be able to briefly explain the various stages of succession Define symbiosis and state the types of symbiosis Define a parasite Explain the life cycle of some parasites like a tape worm Common parasites and diseases they cause (Plasmodium, etc) A review of Biogeochemical

quantitative sampling.
