AGENDA:
TSOTS seedling transplanting Friday
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/compare various graphs of population growth
Warm-up: Could the group of plants we are planting in the garden 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: Poster Peer Evals on Wednesday
Online population ecology lesson [60]
NOTE: Eco. Quiz 1 corrections opportunity available this week--see Mr. Bursch
Has your Climate Diagram practice been checked and stamped? Is your Ecology Field Day (Parts 1 and 2) sheet turned in? [~60]
Make sure your TSOTS SBPAs #1 and #2 have been scored and recorded by me—if not, present to me ASAP [~60]
OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
Finish online population ecology lesson (DUE FRIDAY)
