Do a Travelogue
Situation: You are conservation biologist working as a part time reporter In a local television station. You are assigned to make documentary slides that promote Philippine diversity. Your task is to create slides that will describe the causes and ettects of biodiversity loss in the country. You may also include the advantages of achieving high biodiversity to maintain the stability of an ecosystem. Your work will be evaluated according to organization, content, and accuracy of science concepts.

That ecological studies should use the scientific method of experimentation and use of controls. In other words, to test a hypothesis you need to conduct experiments where you change something in one sample, and in another control there is no change so that you can compare the two and see if you detect a difference between the two. That ecological studies should use focus mainly on one trophic level at a time. That ecological research should be limited to laboratory experiments. That ecological research should be based on observation, description and measurement.arrow_forward
