Station 2 8.11B - Short- and Long-Term Environmental Changes Activity Sheet This activity will assess your knowledge of how short-term and long-term environmental changes will affect future populations. Procedure: 1. Read the scenarios below and drag and drop the matching response cards in the correct spaces. Only four of the eight response cards will match a scenario. 2. The 4-digit code will be revealed in order when the correct answers are placed below. 3. Answer the questions on your answer sheet. Organisms that live in this kind of environment have two different sets of lungs to take oxygen from freshwater or salt water. Most plants in the bayou will have longer root systems. The bayous in Houston, TX help remove water from the city when it rains. During floods, plants with shallow roots along the bayous are uprooted due to fast-moving water. Which short-term impact will result in a year with higher than normal amounts of rain? 5 All three populations would decrease due to the extended period of drought. Some mosses are better adapted to forest fires than others. Scientists are studying 15 different species of mosses in a forest ecosystem. After a large forest fire, only 6 of the mosses are present in the forest. What conclusion can you make about mosses and forest fires? ? 9 Organisms that live in an environment that has a constantly changing salinity will have adapted over time to filter out salt water. Scorpions and lizards both eat honeypot ants in a semi-arid desert ecosystem. What conclusion can be made about the three if there was an extended 10- The scorpion and lizard populations would decrease but the honeypot ant population would increase. year drought? The rivers near the Texas coastline are freshwater most of the time, but they may vary to become salty at times. What is true about the organisms which live in this ever- changing environment? 6 Most mosses are adapted to forest fires and will survive. Most plants in the bayou will have shorter root systems. Extension and Reflection: Answer the extension and reflection questions on your answer sheet.
