    The document outlines an activity to construct an ecological pyramid depicting the campus environment. It defines ecological pyramids as graphical representations of trophic levels in an ecosystem. There are three types - pyramids of numbers showing organism counts, biomass showing mass at each level, and energy showing unidirectional energy flow. An observation of the campus found various tree and plant species providing resources, as well as animals like squirrels, birds and insects inhabiting the human-modified environment during winter months.

    ACTIVITY 1

    AIM:
    Collection of data for depicting ecological pyramid in college
    campus

    MATERIALS REQUIRED:
    Lens,Pencil,Copy,Forceps

    An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the


    relationship between the different living organisms at different
    trophic levels. It can be observed that these pyramids are in the
    shape of actual pyramids, with the base being the broadest, which
    is covered by the lowest trophic level, i.e., producers. The next level
    is occupied by the next trophic level, i.e., the primary consumers
    and so on.

    Types of Ecological Pyramid


    Three types of ecological pyramids exist. They are as follows:
    Pyramid of Numbers
    In this type of ecological pyramid, the number of organisms in each
    trophic level is considered as a level in the pyramid.
    Pyramid of Biomass
    In this particular type of ecological pyramid, each level takes into
    account the amount of biomass produced by each trophic level.
    Pyramid of Energy
    Pyramid of energy is the only type of ecological pyramid, which is
    always upright as the energy flow in a food chain is always
    unidirectional.

    OBSERVATION:
    In our campus,many kinds of flora and fauna can be identified. Our
    is a human modified ecosystem. We can find trees of various
    species as well as different kinds of animals including
    squirrels,dogs,birds like pigeon sparrow,myna,crow etc., insects like
    flies, Butterflies etc. Trees like Jamun,Chinese Hibiscus, and fruit
    bearing trees like Mulberry,Fig,etc and medicinal plants like Tulsi,
    Aloe vera and many flowering plants to beautify the campus.
    Being winter season most of the animals are seen during the day
    time when there is enough sunlight to make themselves warm and
    to search food for their survival.
