Mono Lake Food Web- 1
1. Science Journal: Name an
example of an individual, population, community, and ecosystem from Mono Lake
2. Reading:
Populations and Ecosystems: Mono Lake p. 25-30 & 17- 19
Trophic Levels answer questions on
p.
36.
Thinking About Mono Lake
to understand the
the biotic and abiotic factors of
Mono Lake
and the hierarchy of the food web that exists in the ecosystem
3.
Take notes on the hierarchy of the energy pyramid: decomposer, producer,
primary, secondary, tertiary consumer

Mono Lake Food Web- 2
1. Observe the changes and
food webs in the different ecosystems
2. Discuss how Energy
flows through the food web starting from the sun through the
producers (most biomass) and the levels of the consumers and then
being recycled by the decomposers
3. Use
cards to organize the organisms into a food web- identifying the producers,
consumers (primary, secondary, tertiary), and decomposers

Population Dynamics-1
1. Review data acquired by ecologists
working at Mono Lake and determine the biotic and abiotic factors that affect population size
2. Watch a video that discusses
the abiotic factors in an ecosystem: water, temperature, air, soil, sun,
weather, and the cycles in nature to understand the effects for the biotic
members and take notes in an organized chart
