AGENDA:

- Objectives: Simulate a predator-prey relationship using a model and principles of population dynamics, then create a graph using the data generated to represent observed changes
Warm-up: What are some factors that can affect the size of a population of organisms? Make a list of as many as you can think of in 3 minutes and then identify each factor as biotic or abiotic [8]

- Check climate diagrams (climographs) and go over [15]

- Introduction to population dynamics [15]

- Lynx and Hare Population Lab [60]

- Clear up TSOTS blog peer scoring issues [~15]

- Be signed up for an Ecology Service Learning Project by today

OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

- Finish online population ecology lesson (DUE TONIGHT)

- Work on Lynx and Hare Population Lab
