Marine Science Video Series (*In-Class Only* Assignments)
The Marine Science Video Series is a series of videos shared in class to help students tie together concepts taught during each model's lessons. These assignments are only available for students to complete in class for an extra grade. If they are not completed in class, during class time the assignment is excused.
Planet Earth: Coral Seas
1. As you watch the introduction sequence, list three abiotic, or nonliving factors in this ecosystem.
2. As you watch the video give 8 examples total of the following types of relationships: prey-predator, interspecific competition (different species), intraspecific competition (same species), mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Be sure to identify what type of relationship it exhibits.
3. Jacks and silversides are a good example of an evolutionary arms race (co-evolution) between predators and prey. Describe the predatory adaptations of the jacks, and the defensive adaptations of the silversides.
