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.                         

Eye of the Tiger

Homecoming week 2016!

What a perfect way to start off Homecoming week with my favorite endangered species, the Sumatran Tiger, Panthera tigris sumatra.  This week I want you to change your Google+ profile picture to an endangered species.  The Sumatran Tiger is a critically endangered species with fewer than 400 remaining organisms.  Living on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, these tigers need all the help they can get.  Despite laws to protect the Sumatran Tiger, there is a substantial market for tigers and tiger parts.

Once you have changed your Google+ profile picture, in a scholarly paragraph you need to briefly explain why you picked that endangered species.  Be sure to give both the common and scientific names.  (Scientific names should have the Genus capitalized, species lowercase and be in italics)  Ideally, I would like you each to pick a different species, so be sure to look at what your peers have already posted.  Those of you that post early will have the best pick.  In addition to providing details about your endangered species, I would also like you to define biodiversity.  Look in the book or online.  What happens to biodiversity when organisms go extinct?

Below are some links with endangered species:
