AGENDA: TSOTS seed re-planting by Thursday
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: Ecosystem Map Poster peer evaluations [10 - 15]
Work on online population ecology lesson
Have your Climate Diagram practice and Ecology Field Day, Part 1 been checked and stamped? Is your Ecology Field Day, Part 2 (observations table) finished (DUE THURSDAY)?
Make sure your TSOTS SBPAs #1 and #2 have been scored and recorded by me—if not, present to me ASAP [~10]
