In Of The Investigations In This Kit, Students Use A Different Method To Observe And Sample The Invertebrate Community Of Various Habitats. Students Analyze Their Data To Draw Conclusions Regarding The Biodiversity Of Those Habitats. In The First Investigation, Students Collect Soil Samples And Use A Berlese Funnel To Isolate The Invertebrates For Counting Individuals And Categories. In The Second Investigation, Students Bait Sample Cards, Observe And Categorize The Ants That Come, And Compare Data From Different Habitats And Different Niches (I.E., Different Baits). Kit Provides Materials For 8 Groups Of Students.Unit Connectionthis Laboratory Investigation Correlates To Unit 2: Biodiversity, Topic 2.1: Introduction To Biodiversity In The Ap Environmental Science Course And Exam Description.Standards Connectionbig Idea 2: Interactions Between Earth Systems (Ert) The Earth Is One Interconnected System.
