The key to success in teaching a unit on ecology is to provide good instruction followed by a good review exercise.
This PowerPoint consists of 64 slides of questions and answers and provides an excellent review for the chapter test. I use this review PowerPoint after completing the material in this unit: Ecosystems and the Biosphere: Biomes of the World PowerPoint and Notes.
This is NOT a teaching PowerPoint. It is strictly for review purposes. Each slide has one question followed by one answer.
The questions are of varying difficulty levels. Many of the questions are basic and concrete in nature, but many of the questions involve critical thinking and problem solving skills.
This set of questions is perfect for any type of game format. Students can form groups and compete with one another during the review exercise. The review PowerPoint can also be used in a computer lab with each student reviewing independently and silently.
This review PowerPoint is appropriate for any biology or life science class with students in grades 7 - 12.
Topics covered in this review are:
1. Biomes: Definition of biome, adaptations of organisms to a biome, tolerance levels of organisms.
2. Overview of the major terrestrial biomes: tundra, taiga, chaparral, temperate deciduous forest, temperate grasslands, deserts, savannas, tropical rain forest.
3. Tundra: Definition, location, major characteristics.
4. Taiga: Definition, location, major characteristics.
5. Chaparral: Definition, location, major characteristics.
6. Temperate Deciduous Forest: Definition, location, major characteristics.
7. Temperate Grasslands: Definition, location, major characteristics.
8. Deserts: Definition, location, major characteristics.
9. Savannas: Definition, location, major characteristics.
10. Tropical Rain Forests: Definition, location, major characteristics.
11. Aquatic Ecosystems: Why marine ecosystems are so important to life on Earth, how aquatic ecosystems are determined, the abiotic factors of aquatic ecosystems.
12. Ocean Zones: Photic zones, aphotic zones, intertidal zone, neritic zone, oceanic zone, benthic zone, hydrothermal vents, estuaries.
13. Upwellings, phytoplankton, zooplankton, productivity levels in each zone, species richness.
14. Freshwater zones: Characteristics of freshwater zones, flowing-water ecosystems, standing-water ecosystems, eutrophic lakes, oligotrophic lakes, wetlands, bogs, marshes, swamps.
