Daily Summary 10-16

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

IN CLASS:

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 (exp. Vs. log.)

Warm-up: Sketch a graph of a population that is growing at its maximum biological potential (assume every individual can reproduce) and has no limiting factors affecting it. Now make another sketch on the same set of axes showing the same population during the same time period but with limiting factors in effect. [6]

Review of basic population dynamics [10]

Ecology quiz #2 [15]

Peer evaluate for Ecosystem Map Poster assignment [10]


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

Think about what you’d like to do for your ESLP round 2 project
