Ecological Methods - how do we study ecology?
Observing ExperimentingModeling
Models are used to ______________________________
![Page 12: Ecology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815f65550346895dce60ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sometimes, you must be cautious in how a model interprets data....Imagine graphing a person's height as they age. One could predict that by the time they were age 30, they would be 22 feet tall.
However, the model would need to account for the slowing of growth after adolescence.

FOOD CHAINS AND FOOD WEBS - shows the flow of energy in an ecosystem
*Note the direction of the arrows, they indicate where the energy is going when one organism consumes another.
Each step in a chain or web is called a TROPHIC LEVEL
