AGENDA:
TSOTS seed re-planting TODAY!
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]
Introduction to population dynamics [20]
Lynx and Hare Population Lab [70]
Finish online population ecology lesson and get it stamped [~70]
Have your Climate Diagram practice and Ecology Field Day (EFD) Part 1 been checked & stamped? Is your EFD Part 2 done?
Make sure your TSOTS SBPAs #1 and #2 have been scored and recorded by me—if not, present to me ASAP [~10]
OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
Make sure ESLP is in by 2:30, 10/11
