1. SCIENCE 7 CONSOLIDATION CAMP

2. LESSON 19 The Philippine Rainforest

3. Q1. Name some animals that live in a rainforest in the Philippines. Q2. Name some plants that live in in a rainforest in the Philippines. Q3. What does the word “abiotic “mean” and give an example?

4. We will be interpreting diagrammatical scientific texts that are often very simplified to focus attention on specific aspects. The lesson is also about the biotic and abiotic features of an ecosystem. We want to be sure we know and understand the differences between biotic and abiotic factors.

5. Key words/terms: Rainforest

6. COMPONENT 4A

7. Q1. What would you find on the forest floor of a rainforest in the Philippines? Q2. Name the abiotic features of a rainforest ecosystem shown in the diagram. Q3 What are some other plants that are found in a rainforest that are missing from the diagram?

8. Q1. What is an animal that would live in the canopy of a rainforest in the Philippines? Q2. What is the biggest threat to the rainforests of the Philippines? Q3. What abiotic factors are a threat to the rainforests?

9. Q1. Has this lesson helped you to use more technical language when talking about ecosystems? If so, give an example. Q2. Has this lesson helped you to remember and or understand the differences between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem? If so, how?

10. LESSON 20 Temperatures Rising!

11. Q1. Name an abiotic factor that affects almost all ecosystems. Q2. What might happen to the Philippines rain forests if much less rain than usual were to fall in the Philippines in the next few years?

12. We want to be sure we know and understand that predicting the effect of changes to the abiotic factors on the ecosystem can help people to change the way our rainforests are managed.

13. Global warming

14. COMPONENT 4A

15. Q1. What is one thing that the rainforest provides to the animals that live there? Q2. What are three examples of fossil fuels?

16. Q1. What do scientists believe is one of the causes of rising temperatures? Q2. How do the rainforests help reduce global warming?

17. Q1. Did you find the questions in component 4C more difficult than the questions in 4B? Or was there one question harder than all the rest? If so, which one ? Q2 . Has this lesson helped you to know and or understand the effects of global warming on a Philippine ecosystem? If so, how?
