1. W.U. Share your biome/ecosystem/endangered species research
2. Notes: Energy Transfer in an Ecosystem

H.W. Finish #2 Define Ecosystem (continue this on your google doc)  (you can cut and paste pictures for your food web and trophic pyramid....just make sure you keep track of all of the resources that you use!!!!)
                    b.    Define food web.
                                          i.    Draw a food web for your endangered/threatened organism that includes at least 7 organisms
                                        ii.    Label each member of your food web as a primary producer, herbivore, carnivore, scavenger, or decomposer.
c.    Define trophic pyramid.
d.    Define the 10% Rule
                                          i.    Create a trophic pyramid for a simple food chain in your ecosystem that includes your endangered organism.  Include at least 4 levels in your trophic pyramid and use labels to describe how energy flow from one level to the next changes.

**I will do a progress check of your entire Ecology research through #2 on Monday.**
