Modeling Population Growth (Ideal vs. Logistic Model)
This activity provides instructions to construct a mathematical model on a blank spreadsheet that simulates population growth using an ideal model and a logistic model. The activity provides background discussion and then gives instructions on how to program a spreadsheet to produce and display the ideal and logistic population models. Their results are studied for various cases including human population, rabbits, polar bears, bacterial and yeast colonies.

Life Simulation Spreadsheet
Some of your students may spend hours tinkering with this macro-assisted, life-simulating Excel spreadsheet to study and appreciate ecology, and to see how the spreadsheet program achieves complex purposes. The product is best used as an exploration opportunity for single students or pairs of students. Mathematician John Conway’s simple rules for simulating a life form (1970) are the starting point for the spreadsheet. Multiple enhancements let the student create, compare, and contrast up to f
