BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
