This Week in Science (Carrying Capacity and Relationships)

    This week in science we Played a game as a class named "Oh Deer" on the roof.  To show the Carrying Capacity and how fast the population decreases.  Also we learned seven vocabulary words.  And just yesterday we played a card game to show how organisms interact with their environment.  Also we looked  through our partners and give them feed back on what they should add or take out, and we did a worksheet.

    This week in science we learned some cool vocabulary words like....
Limiting Factors-the available energy,water,oxygen,and minerals, and the ability of ecosystem to recycle the remains of dead organisms(activities of bacteria and fungi).

Carrying Capacity-the number of organisms any environment can support.

Living Organisms have the capacity to produce populations of unlimited size.  But available resources in their environments are finite. And......

Mutalism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Predator/Prey.
