What educators are saying
I teach struggling high school students. Even though the resource is designed for middle school, it addresses a good portion of a high school standard at a level accessible to my English learners and struggling readers. It was very helpful, and I will use it again!
Great set of graphs and questions to cover population biology. I was looking for a bit more graphing work with my biology students when covering population dynamics and this worked.

Description
In this ecological populations worksheet, students analyze 9 simple populations graphs to get more familiar with understanding changes in populations and reading simple graphs. INCLUDES DIGITAL GOOGLE SLIDES VERSION!
⭐ Get this activity at a discount in our POPULATIONS MINI-UNIT!
Students will practice the following skills:
- How to INTERPRET basic population graphs
- ESTIMATE carrying capacity by looking at a population graph
- ANALYZE how limiting factors affect populations
This activity is designed as an introductory-level activity for population graphs. It does not require students to generate any graphs, only analyze them.

NGSSMS-LS2-2
Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems. Emphasis is on predicting consistent patterns of interactions in different ecosystems in terms of the relationships among and between organisms and abiotic components of ecosystems. Examples of types of interactions could include competitive, predatory, and mutually beneficial.
NGSSMS-LS2-3
Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem. Emphasis is on describing the conservation of matter and flow of energy into and out of various ecosystems, and on defining the boundaries of the system. Assessment does not include the use of chemical reactions to describe the processes.
NGSSMS-LS2-4
Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. Emphasis is on recognizing patterns in data and making warranted inferences about changes in populations, and on evaluating empirical evidence supporting arguments about changes to ecosystems.
NGSSMS-LS2-1
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem. Emphasis is on cause and effect relationships between resources and growth of individual organisms and the numbers of organisms in ecosystems during periods of abundant and scarce resources.
