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
