Lesson Planet has been my place to go in order to find great additions to the curriculum. The lesson plans and worksheets I have found have been perfect for the lesson plans I had already planned. Because all lessons are reviewed by teachers, I know that every lesson I choose to look through will be pertinent and standard oriented without the fluff.

Here are some ideas to help students understand population growth in ecosystems.
A complete study of population ecology is covered by this worksheet. Biology or ecology learners answer questions and interpret population graphs. This can be used as the intended guided notes worksheet or assigned as homework.
Students estimate crickets population using mark-recapture technique. For this biology lesson, students use Lincoln-Petersen model to calculate population size. They also identify the different parts of the crickets.
Learners describe the basic concepts of population demography. They collect a wide range of data from an online cemetery database including a variety of places across the U.S. They analyze factors that may have affected human demography over time.
A collection of photos and accompanying descriptions describing the life cycle of an Adelie penguin is the highlight of this resource. Working in groups, polar explorers match the descriptions to the pictures and create a timeline. An internet link takes you to Penguin Science where your class can then learn more about these fascinating creatures and how they have served as a great source of information about how animals adapt to climate changes. This is a unique instructional activity for your ecology or earth science class.
In this ecology worksheet, students read information about ecology and the nine ecology subdivisions and answer comprehension questions. Students answer ten questions in this matching and fill in the blank worksheet.
For this ecology worksheet, students learn about ecology and ecologists. They then use the information they learned to answer the 9 questions on the worksheet. The answers are on the last page.
For AP biology or ecology classes, here is a learning exercise that explores population growth. Carrying capacity, limiting factors, and k-strategies are dealt with using short-answer questions.
Students review the concept of populations. In this Biology lesson plan, students will work with a partner to talk through what they remember from the unit on populations. The class will then begin to work through a concept map as a way to organize what was talked about with their partners. This acts as the test review for the Populations Unit Test.
Environmental science enthusiasts show what they know at the end of the year by taking this full-fledged final exam. They answer multiple choice, graph interpretation, and essay analysys questions, 73 of them in all. Topics range from cell structure and function to population ecology. This exam blows others away with the variety included!
