1. View the Wise Use of Our Resources presentation
2. Start a new Google Presentation and type responses to the “Transition” questions (this will go at the end of a presentation you are going to create)
3. On another slide, complete the “Back Track” activity
4. Environmental Issue Presentation:
   
   - Choose one issue introduced in the Wise Use of Our Resources presentation and create a ten to twelve slide summary of the problem, including serious solutions that have been proposed to address the issue—include pictures!
   
   - Don’t forget to make a “Sources” slide
   
   - Post a link to your completed presentation on your The Story of the Seed blog

AGENDA:

– Objective: SWBAT apply concepts of how certain factors limit growth of a population to questions about real and simulated populations

– Warm-up: In response to fears/concerns of overpopulation, some countries are encouraging or even forcing their people to have no more than one child. What are your thoughts on some countries in the world instituting one-child policies? [3]

– Finish “Lion Eats Rabbit” simulation lab and turn in [30]

– Plant Status Update #5 [30]

– Research topics for your Ecology Unit Project [35]

– Check chapter 5 book assignment from Monday [~20]
