    Building a Dam: Changes to Populations Simulation
    Free Lesson Plan
    Free Student Handout
     
     
    Multimedia
    Students will investigate how adaptive traits can become non-adaptive traits when the environment changes. Students can change the amount of water to simulate how producers (grasses) affect different consumer (rabbit) populations. Students graph the population changes and write a CER paragraph to explain the observed phenomena.

    The Science of Ape Intelligence
    Free Lesson Plan
    Free Video
     
     
    Multimedia
    Student will watch the video about the science of ape intelligence and, after watching, discuss answers to questions related to similarities and differences between intelligence in apes and in humans. Students are first organized into teams to track experiments and field observations. Students then watch the video (online or by DVD) and take notes on their topic. Student next will meet in their groups and fill in the two worksheets. Lastly, student will have a class discussion about the topics discussed.

    Students will read and answer questions to distinguish between exponential and logistic population growth, identify carrying capacity, differentiate density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors, apply population models to data sets, and determine carrying capacity from population data. Students will also make predictions based on graphs and interpret graphical data to analyze factors that influence population growth.
