Daily Summary 10-12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HONORS BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AGENDA:

Objectives: Be able to (1) classify examples of factors that limit a population’s growth as either density-independent or density-dependent, (2) predict what will happen to a population’s size based on changes to growth / birth rates, migration in or out, (3) interpret two different graphs of population growth

Warm-up: What are some factors that will affect (positively and negatively) the growth rates and numbers of plants growing in our garden? Make a list of as many as you can think of in 3 minutes and then identify each factor as biotic or abiotic [10]

Introduction to population dynamics [15 - 20]

Finish on Ecosystem map posters (due 10/13) [60]

Continue online population ecology lesson (due 10/13) [~60]

Check on your Brassica plants (take photos!!)


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

Finish online population ecology lesson (DUE FRI. NIGHT)

Finish ESLP (if not yet done—DUE FRI.) Garden cleanup crew see me!
