1. Ch. 5 Ecology
Each new day is designated by a green background

2. Once you are done with your test
Glue in ch. 5 objective and complete your pre-assessment
Create a vocabulary list for the following words
Population density
Geographic range
Growth rate
Age structure
Immigration
Emigration
Self evaluation of objectives
Take Test on ch. 4

3. Factors That Affect Population Growth
Birth Rate
Death Rate
Immigration (into a population)
Emigration (out of a population)

4. Why is it important to study populations?
ET: In your notebook, answer the following question:
Why is it important to study populations?
Learning Targets: today I will…
Identify methods for how ecologist study population
Develop methods for study populations

5. You are an ecologist studying populations of Canadian geese in Fort Steilacoom park. You have to collect one of the following pieces of information: (Mrs. Sortore will assign your group one)
Size of the population
Geographic range within the park
How fast the population is growing (Birth/death)
With your group, develop a plan for how you are going to collect this information (15 min.)

6. Create a Field Study to collect your data 20 min.
Read through the rubric
Can you find all the rubric items in your field study?
Modify your plan so that your field study includes all rubric items – create a poster with your methods
Controlled methods for collecting the data (consistency)
Data table / diagrams
Number of times this will be done
Duration of the study (how long)

7. Group Share/Critique
Using your field study rubric you are going to assess another groups field study
Use the sticky notes at each group to ask questions and provide constructive feedback
Please leave at least one comment/questions per. Field study you visit

8. UNTAMED SCIENCE!!!
In your notebook, write down the methods you see ecologist using to collect data
*Reminder – we are going outside so dress for the weather in closed toe shoes and a coat

9. 5.1/5.2 Limits to Growth ET: What is carrying capacity?
What factors determine carrying capacity?
LT: Today I will
Practice calculating population density
Identify different types of distribution for a population
Explain how the density and distribution effect a population (density dependent factors)

10. Describing Populations
Density and Distribution
Population Density = number of individuals per unit area
Distribution = how individuals are spaced
Random Uniform Clumped p

11. Lets Practice!
In these 2 models you will practice calculating populations density and identifying density dependent limiting factors

12. Q: A mutant for of lice has appeared in a population, explain possible outcomes for the below two scenarios
Population 1: low density and random
Population 2: high density with clumped distribution

13. Limiting Factors Density Dependent Competition Density Independent
Predation or Herbivory
Parasitism
Stress from overcrowding
Density Independent
Unusual weather
Natural disasters

14. Field Study ET: LT: Today I will…
Review your vocabulary words for this chapter (2 min)
Have the person across from you quiz you on your words
Population density
Age structure
Immigration
Emigration
Carrying capacity
Geographic range
Distribution (3 kinds)
LT: Today I will…
Conduct a field study to investigate common weed populations on a school lawn

15. Logistical vs. Exponential
Learning objectives: today I will…
Differentiate between logistical and exponential growth in a population
Compare human growth to logistical and exponential growth
ET: What is demography?

16. Draw the model on your paper

17. Answer the questions below

18. Logistical Growth 3 phases Exponential Growth Growth Slows down
Growth Stops

19. Exponential Growth
When conditions are ideal and resources are unlimited populations will just get larger and larger and larger and larger and larger…..

20. Analyzing Data
Pg. 135 Multiplying Rabbits

21. The Human Population
Q: Is human population growth exponential or logistical? Why? (private think time, answer in your notebook)

22. HUMANS Age Structure LT: Today I will… ET: From last class
Describe The 3 phases of demographic transition
Create age structure diagrams
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) with age structure diagrams (interpreting data)
Age Structure
ET: From last class
What can we infer about the population below?
HUMANS

23. Q: What is this graphic showing
Q: What is this graphic showing? Talk with your group and each will share out
What is this diagram depicting?

24. Age Structure Diagram Features
Title
Age in years
Gender
# or % of the population

25. CER – Claim, Evidence, Reasoning
With your group, you will develop a claim/inference about that population
What evidence from your age structure diagram led you to this inference
Provide reasoning behind the data used

26. 6.1 A Changing Landscape LT: Today I will…
Describe the relationship between resource use and sustainable development.
Explain the pros and cons of different modes of renewable and nonrenewable resources
