Population Ecology Lab Simulation - Modeling Population Growth
This guided inquiry graphing activity (both printable and digital) involves the student in a study of the growth rate of a rabbit population. The student assumes the role of a scientist to determine the birth rate, mortality rate, growth rate, and total population size of the rabbit population over a 20 year period. The data is plotted on a graph where the student will clearly see the initial exponential growth of the population followed by logistic growth. The activity will reinforce the conce

The Virtual Biodiversity Game
Students can use this Google form to make choices that determine how many species survive or go extinct in their ecosystem. Through 5 rounds, students are exposed to concepts such as biodiversity, biomes, climate, niches, pollution, and human impact. Students make choices and can see the impact it has on biodiversity (the number of species)This interactive activity is a great introduction to biodiversity. It is a great tool to get students thinking about what contributes to increased or decrease

The Virtual Carbon Cycle Game
Students can use this Google form and virtual dice to play the role of a carbon atom moving through the Carbon Cycle. The probability of appearing in each carbon sink is modeled proportionally to Carbon Cycle in the real world. For example, the ocean is a large carbon sink and there is a high chance that students remain in the ocean for a few rounds in a row.The number of rounds played is up to the teacher, but throughout the game, students are exposed to concepts such as conservation of matter,

DNA on the Floor- General Bio DNA Replication Modeling (Best Seller)
**This got a huge update on 5/31/23.**Several years ago, I found this activity on a teacher’s blog. There were no instructions- just a few pictures of the process- and I created these instructions on my own from there. I’ve since modified the process to work for my classes.I NEVER skip this activity- it helps students have those “lightbulb” moments that make replication click. Understanding the lagging strand can be very challenging, and I find that this activity makes it so much more accessible
