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

Ecology Adaptation Lab
This is an outdoor lab where students will be running and hunting pasta. The pasta used is tricolored, which will be used to represent prey in the simulation. The pasta usually comes in green, yellow, and red, so the natural rules of being outside and in the grass will provide camouflage, a natural adaptation, for the pasta.
There are two sets of worksheets that both involve recording data, assessing the data, and defending their thoughts. One set is used for small group and it requires taking
