3C Interdependence of Living Organisms

The purpose of this assignment is to: Enable you to demonstrate your understanding of interdependence, variation and adaptations of organisms over time and how this relates to their evolution

Scenario: You are working for a conservation group where you have been asked to produce a poster / information pack explaining variation and interdependence of organisms within the arctic, you need to explain adaptations of a couple of the arctic inhabitants and how this aids them in their survival. Task 1 You need to produce a poster / information pack explaining how Arctic organisms depend on each other. You will need to describe what kind of environment the arctic is. You will be shown a video on the arctic and the animals that live in this environment; you need to make notes on what you see. You could show how the animals depend on each other by drawing a flow diagram. You need to choose 2 organisms from the arctic and describe how they are adapted to survive in that environment, show a diagram of both animals and label the adaptation and describe how this adaptation works. This provides evidence for P3 Task 2 You need to research on the internet how variation within a species brings about evolutionary change. You need to put what you find into your own words and produce a PowerPoint presentation. Make sure you put a copy of all references used on your PowerPoint presentation This provides evidence for M1 Task 3 You need follow on from Task 1 and explain how organisms interact within an ecosystem over time. You need to include examples and descriptions of how animals named in task 1 will interact within the ecosystem (arctic), you might want to include food chains and food webs and explain what would happen if one organism was to die out or a new predator was to be introduced to the arctic This provides evidence for P8
