Students examine data from the 2001 Census on the Aboriginal population. They cover the topics of distribution of the Aboriginal population across the country, the three Aboriginal groups, age, and language. Students build interpretive...

Students survey and describe a stream ecosystem. They sample the benthic macroinvertebrate populations of a given stream and determine community structure through the use of the Chandler Index and a species diversity index.

Students discuss why monitoring fish populations is important. They develop a multi-year fisheries management plan and budget.

Students apply an interactive smog visualization application, Smog City to see how ozone levels are related to population levels and emissions. They study associated vocabulary and complete a worksheet.

Students investigate the nature, causes and statistics of diseases in lesser-developed countries and explore ways in which disease impacts the global population. They write a speech regarding disease in their country and how to prevent it.

In this probability worksheet, 11th graders solve problems using simple random sample, cluster sample, bias, population and systematic sample. They match the questions to its definition.

Students start to think of evolution in terms of populations. The class follows a cartoon scenario of a rabbit population in which there is selection and change of gene frequency. They receive copies of the scenario or the whole thing...

Students explore ways that diverse populations impact cities by investigating local immigrant populations. They, in small groups, create 'immigration profiles' of the nationalities of immigrants reflected in their community's or city's...

How does a population's habitat determine the size of that population? Teach learners about carrying capacity and limiting factors with an engaging roleplay activity. Class members pose as a colony of penguins who must gather food amidst...

Fourth graders analyze statistics of Native Americans by creating graphs.  In this data analysis lesson, 4th graders define different statistical terms and practice finding those statistics from groups of numerical information about...

Students define population and carrying. For this algebra lesson, students explore exponential growth and decay based on animals and things that grow or decrease exponentially. They graph their findings and discuss their results as they...

Middle schoolers examine U.S. Census figures. In this urban centers instructional activity, students compare city populations across the span of 50 years. Middle schoolers create line graphs based on the data.

Students examine the role of large families in some animal populations. They work together to complete an activity related to food supply. They discover the relationship between preys and predators.

Students explore population and come to understand how it changes over time. In this census lesson, students discover what population is and how it changes as they participate in age-appropriate activities.

Students learn why the census makes a difference. In this U.S. Census lesson plan, students connect data and history in their study of previous population booms and analyze census data in order to make predictions about the future.

Students record changes in the composition of a coral reef.  In this Coral Reef lesson, students recognize the needs of Coral Reef species to survive.  Students chart changes in population over time. Students write an essay...

Students study changes in age demographics of Japanese society and the impact that these changes are having on the economy, health care, family structure and workforce. They identify and predict what future changes occur as a...

Students explore the exponential growth and decay of microbial populations in relation to the organism tolerance ranges in their environment, They observe the impact of changing variables which can affect microbial populations.

Fourth graders, after viewing a video on "The Future" Fossil Fuel grade, participate in an energy consumption simulation game in order to analyze how consumption, population, and choice of resource affect the availability of future...

Students collect data as they identify and classify native prairie plants and insects. They create their own population study using a variety of sampling techniques to determine the population density of various species. Students...

Students use this activity as a logic problem that is based on real organisms and real data. The problem is to develop phylogenies for seven related populations of lizards living on the Canary Islands. Three phylogenetic charts are...

Students engage in solving a logic problem based on real organisms and real data. They develop phylogenies for seven related populations of lizards living on the Canary Islands.

Students research the population of Bengal tigers and their existence as either dominant or recessive. They explore the presence of fur on these tigers and its lethal combinations. Determinating the effect of random mating in a...

Students consider that under certain conditions in nature tend to remain the same or move toward a balance. They observe populations and determine the functions (e.g., de-composers, producers, consumers) they serve in an ecosystem. They...
