Unit 4 Day 1 Biology Kick off What term is used for populations moving into an area? What term is used for populations leaving an area? Name 2 factors that cause an increase in population. Name 2 factors that cause a decrease in population.

Daily Objective 1- List the characteristics used to describe a population and identify factors that affect population size. 2- Recognize the difference between exponential and logistic growth.

Unit 4 Day 2 Biology Kick off What is the difference between exponential growth and logistic growth? (sketch each type) 2. Define carrying capacity. (label it on your sketch)

Daily Objective 1- Analyze a population by graphing data

Note: The slide holds ½ mL, you must X all counts by 2 for #/mL

Unit 4 Day 3 Biology kick off 1.What type of growth curve do both species of paramecium show when grown separately? 2. Explain what happens when they are grown together.

Daily Objective 1- Calculate population density 1- Identify factors that limit population growth. 2- Analyze trends of a predator/prey relationship.

Unit 4 Day 4 Biology Kick off What type of population pattern does this graph show? What type of limiting factor is this an example of?

Daily Objective -Explain how the size/growth rate of human populations change over time.

Unit 4 Day 5 Biology Kick off Define demographic transition Which of these countries is growing at a more rapid rate? How can you tell? What stage of demographic transition is each country in?

Daily Objective Define invasive species Describe how they impact native populations

Zebra mussels

Unit 4 Day 6 Biology Kick off Define invasive species. Give 2 examples of local invasive species and explain how they impact the ecosystem. Create a graph to show how Asian Carp have affected the population of native fish.

Daily objective Explain the impact of pesticides on the populations in an ecosystem.

Unit 4 Day 7 Biology Kick off List 5 limiting factors that can affect a population. Which of these are density dependant? 15

Review Look at the graph to the right. What is the difference between “overshoot” and carrying capacity? What is the carrying capacity of the second population?

Daily Objective Make connections between concepts

Unit 4 Day 8 Biology Kick off The graph below is for 2 species of microscopic organisms. Explain what is happening when the 2 are living together.

Daily Objective Test day: Show what you KNOW
