General Ecology Lab Final
Your lab final will be worth 30 points. It will consist
of three sections:
1) Species identifications
2) Short answer questions
3) Group project
Each section will be worth a possible of 10 points.
Section One: Species identifications: You will be responsible for identification by common or scientific names( if they were required) the common tree species of the TSU Arboretum, the species discussed on the adaptations to a xeric environment lab, the macro invertebrates from the biological testing of the hydric environment, and the species discussed in the decomposition lab.
Section Two: You will have a series of short (mostly one word or term) questions that relate to the topics covered in the labs.
Section Three: You will be placed in a group and given a project with a question to answer. Any of the equipment used in the lab will be available for your use. The project will be related to one or more of the labs conducted this semester in some way. Each person in the group is to participate in the project, both the determination of the answer and the write up. If a person does not contribute they will be placed in a group by themselves and given their own project.
The lab final will take place the final lab period of the semester. The location will be provided to you. It could be any of the places we visited this semester or an entirely new site.
