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: Could the group of plants we are adding to the garden today be considered as a population? Why or why not? What are some limiting factors that will affect the growth rates and numbers of plants growing in the garden? [5]

(NOTE: TSOTS Peer Evals)

Check on your Brassica plants (take photos!!
