Students define the following terms: predation, competition, carrying capacity and population. They can explain the patterns of growth and the limitations of growth. Students explain the difference between density-dependent and density-independent factors and give examples of each. They apply the scientific method to a population growth experiment to show the effects of different factors in populations. Full Review »

Students are focused on the big question: What makes a population grow and how could that growth stop? They use these concepts to help answer the big question: carry capacity, density dependent v. density, independent factors, predation and competition. Students look at patterns of exponential growth curve v. logistic growth curve. Full Review »

Students investigate population dynamics such as variation in density of females, composition of food sources an environmental factors such as light and temperature on Drosophila. They then relate their findings to human populations and the factors which affect them. Full Review »
