Macroinvertebrate Puzzle

  • What animals are found in ponds vs. streams?
  • What is the number of species found in ponds and streams?
  • Do we see more species in still water or running water?
  • How does running water affect insects rather than non-running water?

  • What's their environment; rocks and algae?
  • What types of environment in the water enables the creatures to live there; rocky, seaweed, etc?
  • What are the differences between these two ecosystems; ponds and streams?
  • How does the environment around the water affect the species?
  • Does the depth of the water affect the species that live in it?
  • What organisms are around them that can affect them?

  • What different needs for survival do organisms in the stream have than organisms in the pond?
  • Where are they able to populate?
  • How often do the organisms reproduce?

  • What are the advantages of being fuzzy?
  • What adaptations have to be made to live in a stream rather than a pond?
  • What do the organisms in the pond eat and what do the organisms in the pond eat?

parameters) are used to determine water

quality.

  • Homework: signed permission slip due TOMORROW (9/21)
  • Question revisit
  • Watershed Connections - Forest + Aquatic food webs
