Ecology Study Guide Notes Chapter 50: Intro to Ecology The Scope -3 main questions: Where do they live? Why do they live where they do? How many are there? -Ecology helps reveal the richness of the biosphere and helps humans understand how to protect that diversity and richness which is now under attack. 50.1 Ecology is the study between organisms and the environment - Naturalists began studying organisms in their environment. Humans have also had need to know about organisms for hunting and gathering. - Ecology is very much an experimental science (field experiments). The difficulty to provide consistent results has resulted in many innovations regarding experimental science. Ecology and Evolution

Neandertals ? 100,000-30,000 BC Buried their dead with objects, suggest belief in an afterlife. Neolithic (new stone) Age ? 8,000-4,000 BC Systematic agriculture Probably by women, raised animals, grew crops This would facilitate the development of all civilization. Characteristics of Civilization 1. Cities ? Internal production, trade 2. Government ? Organized means of order 3. Religion ? Structured system of belief: nature, existence, right to rule. 4. Social Structure ? Division of labor-trade Class orders-upper, lower, slaves

CHAPTER 4 Three kinds of ethical violations participants in the study were harmed participants were not treated respectfully researchers targeted a disadvantaged social group (eg. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study violated all three) The Milgram Studies: the study was extremely stressful to the participants debriefing: in an interview after the study, participants were carefully informed about the study?s true nature, details and hypotheses and introduced to the unharmed learner but participants may still suffer post-study stress A fundamental conundrum in deciding whether the research is ethical; try to balance the potential risks to participants against the value of the knowledge we can gain.

Chapter 3 Variables ? something that varies; must have at least 2 levels, values Constant ? something that could potentially vary but has only 1 level in the study in question Measured vs Manipulated Variables Measured variables ? recording an observation, a statement or a value some variables cannot be manipulated, only measured (eg. gender, IQ, traits such as depression) Manipulated variables ? controlling levels of variable by assigning participants to different levels of that variable some variables cannot be manipulated; it would be unethical (eg.assign children to ?high-quality school? or ?low-quality school? conditions)

What Makes a Worm?s Heart Race? Part 1 - Learning Name: Hour: Date: Purpose: To explore the impact of treatments on the pulse rate of the worm Lumbriculus variegatus while refreshing and refining your understanding of experimental design with a focus on recognizing and minimizing experimental bias. Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, you should be able to: Count pulse rate in blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus). Demonstrate the ability to design and perform an experiment using the strong inference model and multiple hypotheses with attention to the minimization of experimental bias. Demonstrate an understanding of graphing and the use of simple statistical data analysis to evaluate the impact of an experimental treatment.

DBA for Module 1: What is the definition of science. Science is The study of physical properties and the history of the natural world. What is the difference between precision and accuracy: precision is given by the ability of the instrument to get as close to the true value of the measurement as possible. some measuring instruments are more precise then others. In other words, an instrument that measures to the nearest 100th place is more precise than the one that measures to the nearest 10th place. Accuracy is how accurate your measurement is. How careful one is in reading the measurement correctly. How are significant figures used in calculations?
