I Waste So Much Time

Each week I spend a lot of time trying to find cool video clips...like that "Battle at Kruger."  This weekend I was looking for video clips on succession and pond succession.  After watching a lot of video clips, I found one succession video that I liked.


It isn't as exciting as I would have liked, but it will do the trick.  Watch the video above.  Write at least three sentences about what you learned.  Then see if you can find a cool video clip or article about one of the following topics:

     Overpopulation                        Global Warming                           Energy Crisis     
     Invasive Species                       Genetically Modified Crops

Label what the video is about and include the URL.

  1. Succession

    I learned a few key things in the video about succession that really fascinated me. A difference between primary and secondary succession is if the soil was present before. Secondary succession doesn’t take as long because the soil was there before, while in primary succession the soil has to be made. Also in the first parts of succession, little plants and bushes are grown before any trees making a succession of any type a timely process. It can even take decades for an ecosystem to get back to normal after a devastation from human action.
    Genetically Modified Crops- This video explains how farmers have been modifying crops for thousands of years. It also explains how farmers today use GMOs.

  2. I learned about succession for the first time this year. I’ve learned from that video that mosses break down rocks that turn into soil which eventually supports a forest. Secondary succession creates a mature forest faster than primary succession because soil is already there. I’ve also learned that when a forest burns down, bushes and small plants are the first plants to start growing again in the forest.

  3. Secession is a change in an ecosystem over time. I learned that primary succession takes a long time and it doesn't happen overnight. I also learned that secondary succession is that an ecosystem can regenerate itself.

  4. Succession absolutely blows my mind. I think that it is amazing that after natural disasters like huge fires, that forests can slowly bring the life back to that certain area. I like how primary succession is a place that has never supported life slowly starts to grow things like moss and lichen on rock. Then after a while the same place is a fully thriving forest that is home to many different species. However, I also like secondary succession too. It's cool to me how after a deadly wild fire or some other natural disaster, the ecosystem over time can regrow the factors it had before the natural disaster.

    1. I agree that succession is crazy. I would have thought that primary succession would be faster then secondary succession.

  5. I found this video very interesting. Before watching I was a little confused on primary succession and why it was SO different from secondary succession. Being able to think that primary succession as never having any soil there previously and secondary as already having soil there and other plants at one point will help me be able to remember this much better. It will also help with me remember that primary succession takes much longer than secondary succession because the moss or lichen needs to break down the rock or other substance.

  6. Three facts I learned in this video was organisms like mosses and lichen break up the rock and help create soil in primary succession. Overtime pioneers would populate the area. Secondary succession creates a forest much quicker than primary succession because soil was already once there.

  7. After watching the video I learned a lot about succession, which is the predictable changes that occur in a community. I learned that there are two different kinds of succession: primary and secondary. Primary succession is growth for the first time, such as the glaciers melting. Secondary succession is where growth occurs where it already existed but was disrupted by natural causes or human activity.

  8. Watching this video I learned that when snow melts and bare rock is shown the land is going through primary succession. Mosses and lichens then break up the rock and helps create the soil. Farming and logging is a secondary succession. Secondary succession makes a mature forest faster than primary succession because there was already soil on the land. I chose to find a video on global warming. The video i found was about how we haven’t woken up to the fact that global warming is really happening and that we need to do something about it. The video is also about how reducing our carbon footprint can help with slow down global warming. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w3uummgciI

  9. Before watching this video clips, I knew some things about Primary Succession and Secondary Succession, but not much. Today, watching the video, I learn a couple more things you need to know about succession. I didn’t know how Succession looks over the years, but in the video, she says how first, low growing grasses would sprout, then bushes, the followed by small trees. And in Primary Succession, I always wondered how soil comes from rock, but she said that organisms like moss and lichen are the ones to break up the rock, and produce the soil. Lastly, I didn’t know why Secondary Succession was faster than Primary Succession, but I learned that it was because there was soil already existing, and it didn’t have to be created.

    1. I do find it quite bizarre beforehand how secondary succession is quicker than primary succession, but now knowing about the soil previously, it makes more sense now. We seem to have learned most of the same things from the video.

  10. After watching this video, I have learned that, succession is the series of predictable changes in the development of an ecosystem. There are two types of succession, one is primary succession, primary succession is growth for the first time. Secondary succession occurs where soil has already succession.

  11. After viewing this video clip, I have gained knowledge on how succession works and the two types of succession. Succession is the predictable changes that occur in a community over time. Primary succession is when no previous soil was present, so it is the first one to get there. Also, I learned that pioneer species populate the area over the years, and organisms like mosses and lichen divide the rock up to make soil. Next, I learned the steps of secondary succession is beginning with low-growing plants populating the area. As these plants grow, trees will appear and develop. Knowing that secondary succession has soil already set, I would not expect it to have a quicker mature force than primary succession. However, since the soil was already present, they didn’t need to go through the beginning stages. Both types of succession play a role in the development of an ecosystem entirely.

  12. In this video I learned that secondary succession happens faster than primary! It makes a lot of sense but I guess I just never really realized it. I also learned that after a natural disaster, when secondary succession occurs, it doesn’t all grow at once. It all happens at different times and again it makes so much sense I just never really thought about that. Lastly I learned that humans farming can change succession. I mean, I always knew that humans do a lot of bad things for the environment but not this! Here is a video I found on global warming- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqxMzKLYrZ4

  13. Throughout this video, it constantly talks about the topic of succession which is the predicted change in an ecosystem. It talks about how primary succession is the change to an area that has held no life before. This type of succession usually begins with a pioneer species. Secondary succession is how an ecosystem recovers after a natural disaster like fires or tornados.http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/101-videos/global-warming-101
    This video is about how global warming is caused and how it is affecting the world everyday. Glaciers are melting and causing the ocean to rise. However this is not the only way global warming is affecting the world. Global warming is affecting the world every day in different ways.

  14. In this video, I got a pretty good idea of what succession is. Primary succession is when there was never any soil there and pioneer species, like moss and lichens, have to break down the rock to create soil. Secondary succession is when there was soil there but the ecosystem has to rebuild. For example, a forest fire or tornado. Secondary succession is usually a faster process than primary succession. Here is a video I found on overpopulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAUVGYz3pZw

  15. After watching this video I have learned that succession occurs all the time. Forest Fires will destroy forests and plants but it'll all grow back faster because their is already soil for it to all grow back on. Also when glaciers melt or snow melts away it exposes soil, and if exposed for long enough plant life can start to grow, eventually their would be living organisms other than plants occupying the area. I have learned that Secondary Succession takes a shorter amount of time than Primary Succession. Also I have learned that humans can cause succession to occur, such as logging down forests and farming. Here is a video I found on an invasive species- https://youtu.be/_T5v4qIWSxM

  16. Succession is events that establish an ecosystem. Primary succession is establishing a new ecosystem where there wasn't one previously and secondary succession is the re-establishment of an ecosystem after an event that damages the ecosystem.

  17. I learned that entire forests can be detroyed by natural disturbances like fires, but they would eventually grow back. Mosses and lichens break up rock to expose soil. Secondary succession occurs when a fully developed area of land is wiped out by natural disasters. Low growing plants, then trees will grow. Primary is growth for the first time, secondary is growth where soil already has been.

  18. This was a very informational video and I learned a lot from it. What I remember the most is that there are two different types of succession. Primary succession, which is a change that occurs in an area where no soil existed, and secondary succession, which occurs when a developed ecosystem gets disturbed by natural disasters. Natural disasters aren’t the only way that an ecosystem can be disturbed. By people cutting down trees, that can serve as secondary succession because more plants have to grow and replace what was cut down. Both types of succession are predictable changes that happen in an ecosystem.

That was definitely a new fact that I never knew.

  20. While watching the video I learned that the meaning of succession is the predictable changes that occur in a community. I also learned that over time pioneer species populate the area when establishing the ecosystem; then the organisms break up the rock and help to create soil. I didn’t think about how secondary succession can also occur when deforestation happens and human activity like farming and logging is done. From this I learn that secondary succession can take place when we change landscapes as well, not only when uncontrollable events happen like tornados or hurricanes.

  21. I learned that secondary succession happens faster than primary succession. This was suprising to me because I thought it would take a longer time to regrow than to just grow.

  22. While watching the video I learned new info about succession. One thing I acquired from the clip is that after a devastating forest fire low growing grass would come back first, then bushes, and then small trees. Another fact I picked up was that secondary succession is faster than primary, because the soil is already present and does not need to be produced. The last piece of info I heard is that lichen breaks down rock to create soil.

  23. I learned that succession is a predicted change, something that scientists map out decades into the future. I also learned that a bare rock could end up as a mature forest in a few decades, thanks to moss breaking down the rock into soil. I also didn't know that secondary succession id faster than primary succession because there is already soil there and it doesn't have to make new soil.

  26. While watching the video about succession, I learned several new things. Until this year my knowledge on succession was limited. The first new concept I learned was when an ecosystem, such as a forest is damaged by a fire, patches of small grass than bushes inhibit the area first. Secondly, the amount of time for primary succession to complete is longer than secondary succession to take place because soil was already present. Lastly, the processes can take an upwards of a decade to redevelop an ecosystem after an natural disaster.

  27. In this video I learned a more complex definition of succession, Like how the smaller plants grow back first. I was suprised at how long it takes for the ecosystem to fully recover from a natural disaster like a flood or forest fire. I also learned that primary succession is when plants and life moves to a new area rather than secondary succession where life moves back from a natural distaster.

  28. I have learned more about what happens within primary succession. Apparently, lichen breaks down rocks and helps create soil. Then, with fresh soil, seeds that have been dispersed will eventually grow and it can become a forest. Also, I learned that little bushes usually grow before any trees so then it can take tons of years before the area is fully developed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab6jV4VBWZE This video is by NASA and provides some hardcore evidence about what is happening with global warming.

  29. While viewing the video I gained a lot of knowledge about succession First off, I learned, that in order for a succession to be a primary succession no soil could be in the area. Only rock. Also, I learned that mosses and lichen are usually the first to a new area, a pioneer species. Finally I learned that secondary succession creates an adult forest much faster than secondary succession because soil is already present.

  30. After watching the video above I realized that I've learned so much since middle school. I never learned about succession before this past week. I learned that Primary Succession is a gradual change of an ecosystem over time when no organism has lived in the area. Whereas Secondary Succession is the change of an ecosystem over time, after a natural disaster has hit. I also learned that it takes longer for Primary Succession to complete than Secondary Succession does, because the soil was already there for Secondary Succession whereas Primary Succession has a stage where lichen has to help make soil.

  31. After watching this video, I learned that primary succession is the predictable changes in an environment. I didn’t know that secondary succession takes faster to grow back than primary succession because secondary succession already had soil and primary succession doesn’t.

  32. I have learned that primary succession takes place in an area where there's no soil, where pioneer species begins in a new ecosystem. Natural disasters like earthquakes & tsunami's can destroy developed ecosystems. That is called secondary succession. There are also multiple ways for secondary succession to happen, like man destroying forests for farming & for lumber. Both primary & secondary succession are both common in the ecosystem.

  33. One thing that I learned in this video is that things like mosses and lichens help in the process of primary succession by breaking up rock and helping to create soil. I also learned that the process of secondary succession is faster than primary succession. This because soil was already present when the process had started. Another thing that I learned was that both types of succession were a series of predictable changes in the development of an ecosystem.

  34. I learned that primary succession is when there was no soil there before and it is made by mosses and lichens that break up the rock that was there before. Also that secondary succession takes a lot shorter time because there was already soil there to start off. And both forms of succession are multiple stages of predictable changes to an ecosystem. I also found a cool video on global warming.

  35. This video has enlightened me on multiple things. First off, I had not previously known that one of the better ways to define secondary succession that it’s a land that already has soil in it. I had also not known that primary succession takes a lot more time to develop.Upon hearing this fact I thought it made a lot of sense however. Another thing I learned was that the most common pioneer species are lichen and mosses.

  36. After watching the video I learned that succession happens faster in secondary succession than primary succession. I’ve also learned that in secondary succession, after the disruption occurs the low growing grass is the first to grow back. Before watching the video I was wondering where the soil came from in primary succession if it started from bare rock. After watching the video I found out it’s the moss that breaks apart the rock and helps create the soil.

  37. I learned that succession is change in an environment overtime, like if a forest is burned down in a fire then the forest while eventually grow back, gradually, sequentially changing. I learned that primary succession occurs in an place where no soil existed before and that life starts to inhabit it, secondary succession occurs in a place where soil already existed and natural disaster occurs, then the biotic factors come back progressively. I also learned that pioneer species are the first to inhabit areas where primary succession occurred or where natural disaster occurred.

  38. I learned that secondary succession occurs faster than primary succession because soil is already present. I also learned that in order for primary succession to occur, a small plant must break through the rock surface to grow. With the breakthrough, soil is introduced and the succession continues.

  39. During the video I learned that succession is predictable changes that happen during the development of an ecosystem. I never knew that Secondary succession was faster than primary succession. The reason secondary succession is faster than primary succession is because secondary succession begun with soil.Primary succession takes a long time and secondary can reestablish its ecosystem in a relatively short amount of time.

  40. Three things I learned about succession was that the smaller plant life start growing first when a forest is in succession; first the grass, then the bushes, the the smaller trees which eventually grow into the mighty, sturdy giants we see a lot today. In addition, I learned that those smaller species that inhabit the area first are called pioneer species. Primary Succession is different from Secondary Succession because of not only preexisting life but also the soil.

  41. I never had heard the term "Succession" untill this year. Its definition is a predicted change to an ecosystem. There are 2 types of succession, primary and secondary succession. Primary is when that ecosystem is going to be settled on for first time. Secondary is when the ecosystem was settled before but went through an unexpected disruption and now has to settle back to normal. Both of these have a Pioneer, the first person to settle.

  42. In this video, I learned that there are two different types of succession. Primary succession is when a change occurs in an area where no soil existed. Organisms who take part in primary succession are called pioneer species. Secondary succession is when a developed ecosystem gets disturbed by natural disasters. Since lichen or moss has to break down the rock it lives on, primary succession takes much longer than secondary succession.

  43. After watching the video, what really stood out to me was that primary succession takes longer than secondary succession because in secondary succession, the soil has already supported life so when the life grows back, it’ll come back faster. Speaking of secondary succession, I thought that it only had to do with natural disasters like tornadoes, forest fires, or earthquakes. The video talks about how an ecosystem can also being ruined by humans because they cut down trees to clear out an area, for example. I also learned that succession isn't only the gradual change, it’s the gradual predicted change in an ecosystem.

  44. One thing I learned from the video was about primary and secondary succession. Primary succession is land that did not have any soil to begin with, but grew plants over time; for example ice melting on solid rock and plants growing from the rock over a long period of time. Secondary succession is plants that grow from soil that was already there; for example if a forest is destroyed by natural causes, more plants will grow.

  45. One thing I learned was that secondary succession doesn't take as long as primary succession. Another thing I learned was that both primary and secondary succession are both common in an ecosystem. And the last thing I learned was that things like moss and lichens can help speed up the process

  46. I learned how each form of succession has its own process by which its ecosystems develop. Primary succession relies on pioneer species, moss and lichen to grow and repopulate over the bare rock that is there, then seeds are dispersed and new plant life can grow helping the ecosystem start once again. In secondary succession it relies first on lower growing plants which then move on to trees, which can help start a new ecosystem. Secondary succession is faster in its process as soil is already present to help the forest grow faster.

  47. I was unclear about the meaning of succession until watching that video. I learned that during primary succession moss breaks the bear rock into soil, and that primary succession takes longer than secondary. I also learned that natural disasters are often the cause of secondary succession. This video is about population. What is was thought to be in the past, what it is now, and overpopulation in the future.

  51. The video said that succession is the predictable changes in an ecosystem. I learned that secondary succession is faster because the soil was already there. I also learned that mosses and lichen break up the rocks in primary succession to create the soil. Lichen and moss are examples of pioneer species that are the first to inhabit an area.

  52. I learned that the deffinition of succession is a series of predictable changes that occurs in the development of an ecosystem. I learned that primary succession is more convoluted and takes longer to establish in the ways that whatever new ecosystem is forming has to develop soil and other recoures in order to sustain new life whereas during secondary succession it is easier to re-establish old plant life . Primary succession usually begins with a pioneer species. My video is about global warming and the reasons why its obviously occuring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWI-2aISoc

  53. I learned that succession is all the predictable changes that occur in a community. Also there are two kinds of succession
    Primary: is the change that occurs in an area where no soil existed
    Ex: ice melting to expose bare rock
    Secondary: is when a developer ecosystem gets disturbed by natural disasters.
    Ex: forest Fire, Tornadoes
    Sometimes entire forests can be wiped out by natural disturbances like fire. Over time the forest would grow back. First, low growing grasses would sprout, then bushes followed by small trees. Eventually many, many years later the forest would be once again rich with life.

  54. A few things that I have learned from the video linked by Mrs. Mazzuca for this week’s blog post I found pretty interesting. For example, even after a major disturbance to nature, life will return with time. I think that is amazing because major disturbances, like forest fires, wipe out large areas and with enough time, everything will go back to how it was before. Resilience at its finest. Another piece of information that I have learned is that secondary succession works faster than primary succession due to the soil already being there. I would have thought that primary succession might’ve been faster but bare rock becoming soil takes longer than shrubs to return [regrow] on the soil and that makes sense. A third bit of information that I’ve gained through the video is that succession happens in a predictable series of events that ends up forming the ecosystem. I am glad that I was able to see this video because it gave me information on succession that I didn’t understand or know.

Primary succession is the change in an area where no soil previously existed and pioneer species will overtime populate the area. Secondary succession is when a normal ecosystem is disturbed by a natural disaster. Secondary succession creates a mature forest faster than primary succession. For my video I found something I thought was very interesting about invasive species. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eDOwTXobJ3k

  56. By watching the video I learned the difference between primary succession and secondary succession. Primary succession soil forms and it is a slower process. Secondary succession is when soil is already there, it's a faster process and it's easier for plants to come back to that environment.

    The video I choose explains what genetically modified crops are. He talks about different ways foods are modified.

  58. I learned about the the different types of succession when watching this video primary succession and secondary succession and how primary succession is life where there has never been life before. Secondary succession is life coming back after a disaster. The most interesting thing that I have learned is how moss can break down rock to make soil.
    The link that I found is on invasive species and the species that I choose is the Asian Snake head http://www.evergladescisma.org/the-dirty-dozen/bullseye-snakehead/

  59. by watching the video I learned that primary succession is when an area where no life has lived before begins to support life, secondary succession is when an area that has supported life before no longer supports life, but then begins to again. and the first species to inhabit an area i the pioneer species, this is the url for my video about invasive species https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY7nuxE8-jM

  60. Succession is the predictable changes that occur in a community. There are two kinds of succession, primary and secondary. Primary is the change that occurs where no soil before. Secondary is when a developed ecosystem gets disturbed by a natural disaster.

    This is a video about how global warming happens. https://youtu.be/efcAFOzCNNE

  61. Before this year I did not know a lot about succession. After watching this video I learned that it is a change in an ecosystem over time. Also I did not know that secondary succession is faster than Primary succession. This video has taught me many new things. I already knew that humans can disturb the Earth however. Here is a video that I found about invase species.

  62. In this video I learned that of the two types of succession, secondary succession will occur faster than primary succession. With primary succession, the soil and the plants have to develop, while with secondary succession, the soil is already present, which means the area will just need to reproduce the main plants. Examples of the different types of succession include glaciers melting to reveal rock for primary, and a forest repopulating after a fire for secondary.

    I found a video about the threat of invasive species. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spTWwqVP_2s

  63. A few things that I have learned from watching this video are that when snow melts and bare rock is shown the land is going through primary succession. I also found out that with primary succession, the soil has to develop, but in secondary the soil is already there. Secondary succession is when an ecosystem restarts after a disaster, so for example forest repopulation after a fire, or areas after a major flood.

  64. There are two types of succession; primary and secondary. While each of these take two different steps to reach the endpoint, both arrive at the same place. Primary succession occurs when life appears where it never was before, while secondary succession occurs after a natural disaster or devastating event.

  65. Succession is the predictable changes that occur in a community. There are two kinds of succession, primary and secondary. Primary when a new ecosystem occurs where there was bare rock before. Secondary is when a already developed ecosystem is destroyed by a natural disaster or humans changed the land by farming ect. and a new one forms.

  66. Primary succession is the inhabiting of places that have never had life. Secondary succession is the inhabiting a place that had previously had an ecosystem that was disrupted buy a disaster. Secondary succession is faster than primary.

  67. I learned that there are two different types of succession. First is primary succession, which is when the environment grows a new ecosystem where life has never been. Second is Secondary succession, which is when the environment remakes an ecosystem after a major disaster. I think it's very cool that ecosystems can rebuild themselves.
