  1. 0:00seven.
  2. 0:01So,
  3. 0:02uh as we start, uh we are having a
  4. 0:06population ecology as the first topic
  5. 0:08there.
  6. 0:09So, on this slide, we are having
  7. 0:11population growth forms.
  8. 0:13The two population growth forms are our
  9. 0:15logistic growth form and our exponential
  10. 0:18growth form. The J-shaped one and the
  11. 0:21logistic is our S-shaped growth form.
  12. 0:24So, here we are having the descriptions
  13. 0:27of those two graphs. Uh
  14. 0:30our our logistic growth form
  15. 0:32uh is the population growth form that
  16. 0:34shows slow growth due to reproductive
  17. 0:37slow reproductive rate. And uh there's
  18. 0:40predation there and there are diseases
  19. 0:43or low food supply. So, this is the
  20. 0:45phase where there is a very low a slow
  21. 0:48growth and then
  22. 0:50there can also be limiting factors which
  23. 0:53can which can affect the growth
  24. 0:54population. So, the limiting factors can
  25. 0:57be shortage of food,
  26. 0:59water,
  27. 1:00shortage uh shelter, predation, or also
  28. 1:03diseases. So, the population mostly do
  29. 1:06not reach the carrying capacity. So, our
  30. 1:09carrying capacity here on this graph is
  31. 1:11represented by this red line up there.
  32. 1:14So, this is our carrying capacity. The
  33. 1:16carrying capacity is uh the number of
  34. 1:19maximum number of organisms um the area
  35. 1:22or the habitat can carry.
  36. 1:25So, uh
  37. 1:26organisms in this
  38. 1:28uh population cannot reach the carrying
  39. 1:30capacity because of these limiting
  40. 1:32factors.
  41. 1:33So, this graph has four phases.
  42. 1:37We know that uh teachers taught our
  43. 1:39learners these phases. The four phases
  44. 1:41are the first one is the lag phase. The
  45. 1:43second one is the exponential phase. The
  46. 1:46third um uh decelerating phase or the
  47. 1:50death phase. And uh the last one it will
  48. 1:53be our equilibrium phase. So, learners
  49. 1:56have to know this all these phases. Um
  50. 1:59they might be asked to label the phases
  51. 2:01on the graph and so on.
  52. 2:04Uh, this is our logistic growth form.
  53. 2:06And our exponential growth form, the
  54. 2:08J-shaped one, the population here grows
  55. 2:11exponentially. It grows rapidly fast
  56. 2:13because of higher reproductive rate.
  57. 2:17Organisms are settled, they can
  58. 2:19reproduce, and, uh, limiting factors can
  59. 2:22arise. And then when limiting factors
  60. 2:24arise in this type of exponential
  61. 2:27growth,
  62. 2:28they will lead to death or extinction.
  63. 2:31And, uh, the population can exceed the
  64. 2:33the carrying capacity. It means in this
  65. 2:36population in this, uh, type, sorry.
  66. 2:38Sorry.
  67. 2:40In this type of exponential growth,
  68. 2:42it means, um, organisms can, uh, be, uh,
  69. 2:47larger or the number of organisms in
  70. 2:48this can be larger than the carrying
  71. 2:50capacity. So, they they are phases
  72. 2:52there. We have the lag phase and the
  73. 2:54exponential phase. The last one is the
  74. 2:56death or extinction phase. So, that is
  75. 2:59our two population growth forms. One of
  76. 3:02them will be there in our te- in our
  77. 3:05exam.
  78. 3:07As we move on, we have factors affecting
  79. 3:10the size of the population.
  80. 3:12So, these factors are divided into two,
  81. 3:15density-dependent factors and
  82. 3:17density-independent
  83. 3:19factors. So, uh, the density-dependent
  84. 3:23factors
  85. 3:25uh, are those factors that have
  86. 3:27>> [snorts]
  87. 3:27>> a direct uh, correlation with the size
  88. 3:30of the population. It means the size of
  89. 3:33the population is, um, affected affect
  90. 3:36this, uh,
  91. 3:38I mean, they're affected by the size of
  92. 3:39the population. So, examples of them are
  93. 3:41the territorial behavior. Organisms can
  94. 3:44fight in, uh, for territory or for for
  95. 3:47the space. And predation. If there are
  96. 3:49more, uh, prey in the in the in an area,
  97. 3:53there will be more predators or they'll
  98. 3:55compete. Uh, accumulation of waste in an
  99. 3:58area can affect the number of organisms
  100. 4:01in there. The food, space, or shelter
  101. 4:04can also affect the size of the
  102. 4:06population. And parasites and diseases
  103. 4:09can affect the size of the population.
  104. 4:11So, let's say we are having a large
  105. 4:12population and some of the organisms are
  106. 4:15affected by a disease there. Now, the
  107. 4:16disease will pass to other organisms and
  108. 4:19they'll also die. Those are
  109. 4:21density-dependent
  110. 4:23uh
  111. 4:24factors.
  112. 4:25So, we also have density-independent
  113. 4:28factors. This factors does not rely on
  114. 4:31the size of the population. So, whether
  115. 4:34the population size is small or the
  116. 4:36population size is larger as it can be,
  117. 4:39this factors can affect
  118. 4:42the population. They are abnormal events
  119. 4:44in nature and occur randomly. They can
  120. 4:47just occur even
  121. 4:49uh regardless of the size of the
  122. 4:50population. So, examples of them are
  123. 4:52tsunamis. A tsunami can attack um a
  124. 4:55population whether it's small or large.
  125. 4:58We have landslides, volcanic eruptions,
  126. 5:01veld and also floods.
  127. 5:04So, those are examples of our
  128. 5:07uh density-dependent and independent
  129. 5:09factors. So, learners must know this.
  130. 5:11They they know them. They must make sure
  131. 5:13that they revise them.
  132. 5:15And then lastly on this slide, we are
  133. 5:17having uh population parameters
  134. 5:19affecting the size of the population.
  135. 5:21Here, we are having uh the mortality,
  136. 5:23which is our death rate. The death rate
  137. 5:26will decrease the size of the
  138. 5:27population. Natality, our birth rate.
  139. 5:30The birth rate will increase the size of
  140. 5:32the population. And then we have
  141. 5:34immigration. Immigration uh will
  142. 5:37increase the size of the population
  143. 5:39because organisms will be uh moving from
  144. 5:42uh one
  145. 5:43one area into that area. So, the the
  146. 5:46population size will increase. And
  147. 5:48emigration
  148. 5:49is that uh
  149. 5:51parameter which will decrease the size
  150. 5:53of the population because organisms will
  151. 5:55be moving out of an area. So, here is
  152. 5:57our
  153. 5:58uh NB there. They might be asked in our
  154. 6:03uh upcoming examination. So, please
  155. 6:05revise those. I know you know them, so
  156. 6:07please revise them.
  157. 6:12Okay, as we move on colleagues and
  158. 6:14learners then uh, we are now on our
  159. 6:17third slide.
  160. 6:19Uh, determining the population size. So,
  161. 6:22when determining the population size, we
  162. 6:24know that we are having direct
  163. 6:26techniques and indirect techniques. So,
  164. 6:29direct techniques will be counting
  165. 6:32uh, heads of those organisms. So, the
  166. 6:35first technique is census whereby uh,
  167. 6:39they'll be counting the number of humans
  168. 6:41directly in an area or a country. And
  169. 6:44the second technique is the aerial
  170. 6:47photography. Here, the the photo will be
  171. 6:50taken, the aerial photo will be taken,
  172. 6:52and the number of organisms on that
  173. 6:54photo will be counted. These are direct
  174. 6:56techniques. And then indirect techniques
  175. 7:00those are estimations. It means uh,
  176. 7:04uh, we are going to estimate the size of
  177. 7:05the population in in that area. So, the
  178. 7:08first one is mark and recapture method.
  179. 7:12And then the the the second one is the
  180. 7:14quadrats method. I know all of them were
  181. 7:17done in class and were done in the test,
  182. 7:20but we are just reminding you of them.
  183. 7:22So, the mark and recapture method as an
  184. 7:25example of an of an indirect technique
  185. 7:28is um,
  186. 7:29uh,
  187. 7:30is here on my slide. So,
  188. 7:33uh, the mark and recapture method uh,
  189. 7:35what what we are expected to do in the
  190. 7:37mark and recapture method as an example
  191. 7:39here they are saying it's especially
  192. 7:41suit- suitable for fish in a dam. So, we
  193. 7:44are going to have an example of fish in
  194. 7:46a dam. So, uh, we catch the number of
  195. 7:50individuals
  196. 7:52of fish uh,
  197. 7:54as we go with this example, we'll mark
  198. 7:57the fish and throw them back into the
  199. 7:59dam. So, after catching the first
  200. 8:01sample, we mark that fish and throw them
  201. 8:04back into the dam. And then we will
  202. 8:07allow them to disperse. We allow them to
  203. 8:10mix with other with other fish in the
  204. 8:12dam.
  205. 8:13It means we're going to give them enough
  206. 8:15time to mix with other organisms in the
  207. 8:18dam.
  208. 8:19And then
  209. 8:20after a while, let's say after a week,
  210. 8:22we'll make another second catch. So, the
  211. 8:24second catch will be our second capture
  212. 8:27and then count the number of marked
  213. 8:29individuals in that
  214. 8:32in that
  215. 8:34catch and then after that we are going
  216. 8:36to use this formula. So, this formula
  217. 8:38says P is the number of the the
  218. 8:42population size that we are calculating.
  219. 8:44M is the number of the first of the
  220. 8:47first catch. It means the number that
  221. 8:48you marked
  222. 8:50and then throw back in into the dam.
  223. 8:53And then we multiply by C. C here will
  224. 8:56be our second catch.
  225. 8:59The total number of organisms in the
  226. 9:00second catch. You count the ones you
  227. 9:02marked together with the ones which are
  228. 9:04not marked. That is the second catch.
  229. 9:07And then you divide by R. R here is the
  230. 9:10marked marked organisms in the second
  231. 9:12catch. So, here is a note here. Note
  232. 9:16that different letters can be used in
  233. 9:18this formula. But you have to know that
  234. 9:20it's
  235. 9:22the population size is equals to the
  236. 9:25number of fish
  237. 9:27in in the second catch multiplied by the
  238. 9:30the number of fish. Also, in the first
  239. 9:33one you multiply with the second catch
  240. 9:35and you divide by the marked fish in the
  241. 9:39second catch.
  242. 9:42And then
  243. 9:44here are examples of what I've just
  244. 9:47done.
  245. 9:48I have
  246. 9:49example of question this year. So,
  247. 9:52example of question number one says name
  248. 9:55two density dependent factors and
  249. 9:57density independent factors that can
  250. 9:59affect the population size. So, here are
  251. 10:01the answers. Predation, diseases,
  252. 10:04competition, food shortage,
  253. 10:07shelter shortage. Those are density
  254. 10:09dependent. And density independent
  255. 10:11factors drought, floods, as I
  256. 10:14have said from the previous slide.
  257. 10:16And then the second question, identify
  258. 10:19the growth form
  259. 10:20in the following in the following graph.
  260. 10:22So, the growth form is a logistic growth
  261. 10:25form.
  262. 10:26And then the same question says,
  263. 10:28identify the phases 1 to 4 in the above
  264. 10:31graph. So, phases 1 to 4 here are they
  265. 10:33here are the answers. As they were in in
  266. 10:36in the previous slide. The phase phase
  267. 10:38number one is the lag phase, number two
  268. 10:40exponential phase, number three the
  269. 10:43death phase, and lastly we have our
  270. 10:46equilibrium phase.
  271. 10:48And then number four, give one reason
  272. 10:50why the population growth is slower at
  273. 10:53phase number one. So, here is it should
  274. 10:56have been phase number one. So, at phase
  275. 10:59number one there's predation, lower
  276. 11:01reproductive rate, there are diseases,
  277. 11:03or there's competition here at phase
  278. 11:05number one. One of them might be a
  279. 11:07reason why there's a very slow growth
  280. 11:10there. And number five,
  281. 11:13name two population parameters that
  282. 11:14affect the population growth, natality,
  283. 11:17mortality, immigration, and emigration.
  284. 11:20Two of them, any two of them would be
  285. 11:21correct for this for this answer. I
  286. 11:23mean, for this question. Thank you.
  287. 11:26And as I move on, example of questions
  288. 11:29continued with the
  289. 11:31mark and recapture method. So, this is
  290. 11:34determining the population size. So, we
  291. 11:36said firstly we have to
  292. 11:39capture a number number of fish from the
  293. 11:42dam and then mark them.
  294. 11:44We mark them and after marking them we
  295. 11:47release them back into the sea into the
  296. 11:49the dam. So, here it means four fish
  297. 11:51were captured, marked with a red
  298. 11:55marking there and then released back
  299. 11:57into the dam. And then number two,
  300. 12:00you allow them time to mix you allow
  301. 12:03them time to mix with other fish and
  302. 12:05then you will come again and
  303. 12:08recapture. When you recapture you
  304. 12:10capture
  305. 12:12other
  306. 12:13fish.
  307. 12:15You means they will include those that
  308. 12:17you marked in the first capture. So,
  309. 12:19here we are having the total number of
  310. 12:21fish in the second capture is 16, and
  311. 12:24then those that are marked in the second
  312. 12:27catch is
  313. 12:29two. We have two fish which are marked.
  314. 12:32So,
  315. 12:33>> [snorts]
  316. 12:33>> when we continue, number six there says,
  317. 12:36"Use the information above to estimate
  318. 12:38the population of fish in the lake or in
  319. 12:40the dam." So, six
  320. 12:43when you calculate like you do in maths,
  321. 12:45you'll
  322. 12:47you'll have your formula there and
  323. 12:48identify the unknown and identify the
  324. 12:51variables that you have values for, then
  325. 12:53you'll be able to substitute in this in
  326. 12:55the formula and get the number. So, P is
  327. 12:57unknown. It's the estimated population.
  328. 13:00Four is the original number of fish
  329. 13:02captured, marked, and released.
  330. 13:05C is the total number of fish in the
  331. 13:09second capture. And R is the number of
  332. 13:12marked fish in the second capture. So,
  333. 13:15you substitute in the formula here,
  334. 13:18and we got 32 fish. So, the estimated
  335. 13:21number of fish in that lake or dam is
  336. 13:2532.
  337. 13:26So, that is how you calculate the the
  338. 13:28population size. And number seven says
  339. 13:31here from questions, "How can
  340. 13:33reliability be be ensured when using
  341. 13:35this method?"
  342. 13:37So, here is our
  343. 13:39here are our answers on how reliability
  344. 13:42can can be ensured when using the mark
  345. 13:44and recapture method. So, the first way
  346. 13:47in which the reliability can be ensured
  347. 13:50is that a large sample size must be
  348. 13:52captured. So, we must ensure that we
  349. 13:54capture a large sample size as possible
  350. 13:57so that
  351. 13:58our results can be reliable. The second
  352. 14:00answer is that we we must ensure that
  353. 14:03the markings last or remain for the
  354. 14:05period of the procedure.
  355. 14:07>> [snorts]
  356. 14:07>> You ensure that you mark with
  357. 14:10something or a paint or something that
  358. 14:12will last uh the period of
  359. 14:15the procedure or the experiment.
  360. 14:17Number three, markings must be suitable
  361. 14:20and must not harm or interfere with the
  362. 14:23behavior or movement of the organisms.
  363. 14:25So, it means if you mark or when you
  364. 14:28mark those organisms that you captured
  365. 14:30in the first capture, you must ensure
  366. 14:32that they the markings don't hurt them.
  367. 14:34The markings are not that heavy. You
  368. 14:37don't put heavy stuff. You don't put the
  369. 14:39stuff that will
  370. 14:41make them other organisms shy away from
  371. 14:44them, run away from them. So, they might
  372. 14:46they must be able to mix with other
  373. 14:48organisms and not harm their behavior.
  374. 14:51Number four,
  375. 14:53marked organisms must be given enough
  376. 14:55time to mix with other organisms. You
  377. 14:57must not throw fish now and then after 2
  378. 15:00hours go and recapture. No, you give
  379. 15:01them enough time so that they can mix
  380. 15:04and um
  381. 15:05do their
  382. 15:07daily routines in the dam they. And
  383. 15:10lastly, several samples must be taken
  384. 15:12and the average population
  385. 15:14size must be calculated. Like in any
  386. 15:16other experiment, uh the average must be
  387. 15:21uh taken after several samples uh
  388. 15:25calculated from that formula. So, these
  389. 15:29are our um
  390. 15:31ways in which reliability can be
  391. 15:33ensured. Maybe three or two ways can be
  392. 15:36asked, how can reliability be ensured in
  393. 15:40a mark and recapture method?
  394. 15:43Thank you. I hope we are still together,
  395. 15:45colleagues and learners.
  396. 15:47So, the the second slide is the
  397. 15:50following slide is our scientific
  398. 15:51investigation skill.
  399. 15:54So, we've been talking about the
  400. 15:55scientific investigation skills, I think
  401. 15:57from when
  402. 15:59question two was done last week. So,
  403. 16:02here I'm just having an example. I'm not
  404. 16:05going to go
  405. 16:06uh into that much detail of the
  406. 16:09scientific investigation skills. With
  407. 16:10this example, we'll be able to identify
  408. 16:14all the scientific investigation
  409. 16:15variables that are needed. So,
  410. 16:18the the experiment is taken from grade
  411. 16:2111 September paper and it was just
  412. 16:24modified a bit.
  413. 16:26Wearing a face a face mask is a
  414. 16:28recommended to reduce the spread of
  415. 16:30coronavirus.
  416. 16:32There are some concerns about the
  417. 16:34efficiency of breathing when wearing a
  418. 16:36face mask.
  419. 16:37So, when we move on it says, "Scientists
  420. 16:40investigated the effect of wearing face
  421. 16:42masks on the carbon dioxide levels." So,
  422. 16:46uh when
  423. 16:48every time when I do this the experiment
  424. 16:51with my learners or with any other uh
  425. 16:54learner,
  426. 16:56I say when we uh come across the aim,
  427. 16:59where it says, "Scientists investigated
  428. 17:01the effect of or the the effect of uh
  429. 17:05any other variable was investigated."
  430. 17:07So, here is our aim.
  431. 17:09And then from our aim, we have to
  432. 17:12underline or we have to make sure that
  433. 17:14we identify our dependent and
  434. 17:17independent variables even uh before we
  435. 17:20we are asked to identify them.
  436. 17:23Uh as long as when you come across the
  437. 17:25aim, you identify the variables. So,
  438. 17:27here it says, "Scientists investigated
  439. 17:29the effect of wearing a face mask masks
  440. 17:32on the carbon dioxide levels in the
  441. 17:34blood."
  442. 17:35So, carbon dioxide levels in the blood
  443. 17:37depends on wearing a face mask. So,
  444. 17:40we'll we'll know that our carbon dioxide
  445. 17:42level is our uh dependent variable. We
  446. 17:45write D here. And then wearing a face
  447. 17:47mask is our independent variable. We
  448. 17:50write I here. So, that when uh dependent
  449. 17:53and independent variables are asked,
  450. 17:55you'll be able to come and uh take them
  451. 17:59from the aim there. So, here is our
  452. 18:03independent and then here is our um
  453. 18:07dependent variable. And then when we
  454. 18:08move on, I say when we come to the
  455. 18:11procedure or the steps of the
  456. 18:12experiment, we have to identify um the
  457. 18:15variables that were kept constant. We
  458. 18:17identify the ways in which the
  459. 18:19reliability and validity, all those were
  460. 18:22ensured. So, we are going to read the
  461. 18:24first bullet there. It says
  462. 18:26uh
  463. 18:27the following steps were were taken.
  464. 18:29Obtained permission from 150 healthy
  465. 18:33male volunteers aged 30 to participate
  466. 18:36in the investigation. So, uh when they
  467. 18:39come across uh the number of
  468. 18:41individuals, 150,
  469. 18:43150, it means uh this is our
  470. 18:46reliability.
  471. 18:48Either uh the question will say how was
  472. 18:50reliability ensured or how could it it
  473. 18:53be ensured, but you write R
  474. 18:55R on top of 150. And then when when it
  475. 18:58says 150 healthy, it means all of them
  476. 19:01were healthy. So, they had they had uh
  477. 19:03the same
  478. 19:04health uh situation. They were they were
  479. 19:07all healthy. That This is also validity.
  480. 19:10And then all of them were males. The
  481. 19:12male is uh is the gender. All of them
  482. 19:14had the same gender. So, that is
  483. 19:17validity. You write V. And then they
  484. 19:19were aged eight. All of them had the
  485. 19:22same age. You write V. V stands for
  486. 19:25validity.
  487. 19:26And then we move on.
  488. 19:28The investigation was done in the same
  489. 19:30area. So, the area can be uh
  490. 19:33uh specific can be specific. They can
  491. 19:35say it was done in a a warm area, in a
  492. 19:38hot area, or the area where the carbon
  493. 19:41dioxide level is this much or
  494. 19:43atmospheric pressure and and so on. So,
  495. 19:45the same area is validity.
  496. 19:48The It means the experiment was done in
  497. 19:50the uh same area for all the volunteers.
  498. 19:53And then
  499. 19:55uh they applied a sensor to the
  500. 19:57participant's skin to measure the carbon
  501. 19:59dioxide levels in the blood. So, it
  502. 20:01means carbon dioxide was uh carbon
  503. 20:03dioxide levels was measured in the same
  504. 20:05uh procedure. So, they applied a sensor.
  505. 20:08This is validity. The same procedure or
  506. 20:10the same method was used to measure uh
  507. 20:13the carbon dioxide level. And then when
  508. 20:16we move on,
  509. 20:18uh the participants were asked to
  510. 20:21sit for 10 minutes without wearing a
  511. 20:23face mask and they see uh they also sit
  512. 20:26still for 10 minutes while wearing a
  513. 20:27face mask. So, they sit for the same
  514. 20:30duration without wearing a face mask,
  515. 20:32which is 10 minutes, and they also sit
  516. 20:35for 10 minutes with wearing a face mask.
  517. 20:37So, this is also valid. This is
  518. 20:41same duration of 10 minutes. Remember,
  519. 20:43we have to mention 10 minutes. Here, we
  520. 20:45also have to mention 150 volunteers, not
  521. 20:49just a large number of volunteers.
  522. 20:51So, they allowed 15 minutes intervals
  523. 20:54between the 10-minute phase.
  524. 20:57And then, they recorded the carbon
  525. 20:59dioxide levels at the end of each 10
  526. 21:01minutes. So, this 10 minutes It means
  527. 21:04they recorded the carbon dioxide levels
  528. 21:07after the same duration. They ensured
  529. 21:10that the face mask covered the nose and
  530. 21:12mouth. That was just a procedure. So,
  531. 21:15here are the results obtained.
  532. 21:17And then, at 0 minutes,
  533. 21:20with without a face mask, the carbon
  534. 21:23carbon dioxide level was seven. And
  535. 21:25also,
  536. 21:27it means
  537. 21:28the carbon dioxide level was seven.
  538. 21:31Um
  539. 21:32At the beginning of both the
  540. 21:33experiments,
  541. 21:35without a face mask and also when they
  542. 21:38wore a face mask. And then,
  543. 21:41after 10 minutes of where of
  544. 21:45them not wearing a face mask, the carbon
  545. 21:47dioxide levels
  546. 21:49now
  547. 21:50is the carbon dioxide level decreased.
  548. 21:52And then, when they were wearing a face
  549. 21:55mask, the carbon dioxide level
  550. 21:57increased.
  551. 21:58So, these are the results. So, when you
  552. 22:01have to interpret the results, you come
  553. 22:03here. And then, when you have to
  554. 22:04conclude, you also come here and look at
  555. 22:07the results and then go up and answer
  556. 22:10the aim using the information from the
  557. 22:13results. And then, questions from this
  558. 22:16experiment short experiment of ours.
  559. 22:18Number one, identify the dependent and
  560. 22:20independent variables. Independent,
  561. 22:22wearing a face mask. Dependent, carbon
  562. 22:24dioxide levels in the blood. So,
  563. 22:27I I know we are going to fight when
  564. 22:29marking this when discussing the the
  565. 22:31marking guideline. Some educators will
  566. 22:34fight to mark the carbon dioxide levels.
  567. 22:38This uh
  568. 22:39dependent variable must be written in
  569. 22:41full.
  570. 22:42It's carbon dioxide levels in the blood
  571. 22:44because there can be carbon dioxide
  572. 22:46levels in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide
  573. 22:47levels anywhere. So, this is carbon
  574. 22:50dioxide level in the blood. So, the mark
  575. 22:53is there. If learners
  576. 22:55learners who are listening now, please
  577. 22:57don't write just carbon dioxide levels.
  578. 22:59Write carbon dioxide levels in the
  579. 23:01blood. You'll get your one mark.
  580. 23:03Number two, state three factors that
  581. 23:06were kept constant when selecting
  582. 23:07participants. So, here you you go back
  583. 23:12as a learner, you go back to your
  584. 23:14experiment, you look where you wrote V.
  585. 23:17V stands for validity. It means those
  586. 23:19things were the same for all
  587. 23:20participants. All participants were
  588. 23:22healthy.
  589. 23:23Uh and then they were males.
  590. 23:25And they were 30 years old.
  591. 23:28When looking at only participants, not
  592. 23:30the area, not the time, and all those.
  593. 23:32Validity for those participants. And
  594. 23:36those factors that were kept constant
  595. 23:37were that they were healthy, they were
  596. 23:39all males, and they were 30 years old.
  597. 23:42So, you get your marks if you wrote like
  598. 23:44that. You don't say they had the same
  599. 23:46age.
  600. 23:48They had the same gender. No, no, no. We
  601. 23:50don't mention that.
  602. 23:51And number uh
  603. 23:53three, how was reliability ensured? So,
  604. 23:56if the question says how was reliability
  605. 23:59ensured, it means
  606. 24:01uh it talks about the past tense. What
  607. 24:03is already done. It means that you are
  608. 24:05just going to go to the
  609. 24:07procedure and take the answer. So, what
  610. 24:09was done is that 150 participants were
  611. 24:12were used in this experiment. But if the
  612. 24:14question said
  613. 24:16how could reliability be ensured? It
  614. 24:18means in future, what can they do to
  615. 24:21ensure that their experiment is
  616. 24:24uh reliable? It means here the answer
  617. 24:27could have been you you they could
  618. 24:29increase the number of participants to
  619. 24:32more than 150 or they they could use
  620. 24:35more than 150 participants.
  621. 24:38So, that that is how
  622. 24:40our reliability question is answered.
  623. 24:43Also,
  624. 24:45I forgot to include the time there. They
  625. 24:47can um
  626. 24:49record the carbon dioxide after after 10
  627. 24:53minutes or they can
  628. 24:55um
  629. 24:56record the carbon dioxide after more
  630. 24:58than 10 minutes.
  631. 25:00So, number four, why was carbon dioxide
  632. 25:03levels measured while participants were
  633. 25:05not wearing a mask? So, that is a
  634. 25:07control. Why? Why? Why? Because it's two
  635. 25:11marks, you have to go on and explain. To
  636. 25:13ensure that wearing a mask
  637. 25:16wearing a face mask is the only factor
  638. 25:18that affects carbon dioxide levels in
  639. 25:20the blood in this situation and that
  640. 25:23increases validity. So, we'll know that
  641. 25:25carbon dioxide level is the only factor
  642. 25:28that increases
  643. 25:29that affects Sorry, that wearing a face
  644. 25:32mask is the only factor that affects
  645. 25:34carbon dioxide levels in the blood and
  646. 25:37that results in an increase in validity.
  647. 25:39So, here
  648. 25:41in the question of a control, colleagues
  649. 25:43and learners, please let's shy away from
  650. 25:46writing that answer that what that we
  651. 25:48used to write
  652. 25:50uh 20 years back
  653. 25:52which says a control is used to compare
  654. 25:55results and and so on. So, we we we we
  655. 25:58say it is a control, we ensure that our
  656. 26:02independent variable is the only factor
  657. 26:04that affects our dependent variable in
  658. 26:07this experiment. So, you'll mention the
  659. 26:08independent variable is wearing a face
  660. 26:10mask and the dependent variable is the
  661. 26:13carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
  662. 26:15So, that is how we answer a control.
  663. 26:18Number five,
  664. 26:20draw up a conclusion for this
  665. 26:21experiment. So,
  666. 26:24uh our conclusion is we go here, we saw
  667. 26:26that uh when wearing a face mask, the
  668. 26:28carbon dioxide
  669. 26:30um
  670. 26:31level
  671. 26:32decreases.
  672. 26:33Uh increases increases in the blood. So,
  673. 26:36wearing a face mask decreases the levels
  674. 26:39of the carbon dioxide levels in the
  675. 26:41blood. From the uh our A in there it
  676. 26:44said uh scientist investigated the
  677. 26:47effect of wearing face masks on the
  678. 26:49carbon dioxide levels in the blood. So,
  679. 26:51we answer that A. Wearing a face mask
  680. 26:54decreases carbon dioxide
  681. 26:57Sorry, it must increase. I made a I made
  682. 26:59a mistake here. It must increase the
  683. 27:01carbon dioxide level in the in the
  684. 27:04blood. So, the answer is say the answer
  685. 27:06will be wearing a face mask increases
  686. 27:09carbon dioxide levels in the blood
  687. 27:11because it was seven, now it's 15. And
  688. 27:15um please note there'll be a graph drawn
  689. 27:18in our uh question paper. Please
  690. 27:20practice drawing how to draw graphs.
  691. 27:24When we move on,
  692. 27:26we move on to our genetically uh
  693. 27:29genetically modified crops uh or
  694. 27:31genetically modified organisms, but
  695. 27:34we'll be focusing on genetically
  696. 27:35modified crops
  697. 27:37and our alien plants. So,
  698. 27:40uh what are genetically modified crops?
  699. 27:42They are crops of which their DNA or
  700. 27:45genetic material is altered or changed
  701. 27:48to satisfy human needs. So, what are
  702. 27:51those human needs? They'll be high crop
  703. 27:53yield, improved nutritional quality,
  704. 27:56and increased food security and for
  705. 27:59others. So, these are our genetically
  706. 28:01modified uh crops. So, you have to uh
  707. 28:04read and answer uh about genetically
  708. 28:07modified crops. And then we have our
  709. 28:10alien plants. What are alien plants?
  710. 28:12They are unwanted crops.
  711. 28:14They compete with indigenous crops for
  712. 28:17water, nutrients, and sunlight. So, I
  713. 28:20got this picture there from AI. It says
  714. 28:24uh here it shows large uh trees there.
  715. 28:27It means these larger trees uh uh
  716. 28:30uh are able to absorb more water, more
  717. 28:32nutrients, and they also hide uh our uh
  718. 28:36our
  719. 28:37indigenous plants. They cannot receive
  720. 28:40enough sunlight. So, these are
  721. 28:42our
  722. 28:44alien plants, and these down there are
  723. 28:46our indigenous plants. So, how can alien
  724. 28:50plants
  725. 28:51invasion be controlled? How can we
  726. 28:54remove these plants when they invade our
  727. 28:57our areas. Number one, number one, we
  728. 29:00can remove them mechanically.
  729. 29:02Mechanically by hands or machines. We We
  730. 29:05remove them
  731. 29:06mechanically. Number two,
  732. 29:10they can be controlled chemically by the
  733. 29:12use of herbicides. We know that
  734. 29:13herbicides are those
  735. 29:15chemicals that kill unwanted plants. So,
  736. 29:19we can use those herbicides to kill the
  737. 29:21alien plants. And then lastly, we can we
  738. 29:24can use the biological method. The
  739. 29:26biological method is that
  740. 29:28method where the introduction of natural
  741. 29:31enemies in the habitat is done. So,
  742. 29:34let's say there are plants of which we
  743. 29:37know that if we can introduce rats that
  744. 29:40are not harmful to our indigenous
  745. 29:43plants, those rats can be able to eat
  746. 29:45those unwanted plants.
  747. 29:48So, this is what we
  748. 29:50we should know for the upcoming paper
  749. 29:53two in question three. Thank you very
  750. 29:56much. And then when we move on,
  751. 29:59we have poaching.
  752. 30:02Here on this slide, it just says what is
  753. 30:05poaching. It is illegal hunting or
  754. 30:07trapping of wildlife for food or profit.
  755. 30:11And we are having elephants and black
  756. 30:13rhinos, which are the most common
  757. 30:15animals which are poached. So, here are
  758. 30:18our elephants. They We poach them for
  759. 30:20for the elephant tusks. And then the the
  760. 30:23rhinos, we poach for the rhino horns so
  761. 30:27that we can make ornaments and sell
  762. 30:30them.
  763. 30:31So,
  764. 30:32I think this
