1. Predator / Prey
Relationships

2. The population of all organisms is constant.
Healthy Ecosystem
The population of all organisms is constant.

3. Grass is Diseased
Grass population decreases rabbit population begins to decrease.
Next, the snake population decreases
Lastly the hawk population decreases
After the initial drop off, the populations begins to stabilize.

4. Rabbits are Diseased
Rabbit population decreases grass population increases
The snake and hawk population decrease
After 8 months, the populations stabilize (the grass stays higher than the rest)

5. Snakes are Diseased
Snake population decreases rabbit population increases
The hawk population decreases
The grass population decreases slower than the other two.

6. Hawks are Diseased
Hawk population decreases snake population increases.
Increase in snakes rabbit population decreases
rabbit population decreases grass population increases
All populations stabilize.
The hawk and grass population stay lower than the snake and rabbit population

7. Predator/Prey Storyboard
You will DO:
Identify the four most important things that happen during a predator/prey relationship
Create a four panel storyboard that includes pictures and descriptions to tell the story of a predator/prey relationship

8. DUE DATE
You will have class time today and time tomorrow to work on your storyboard
The final storyboard is due this FRIDAY MAY 6th.

9. Design Your Story!
Step 1: Read over your notes (you can also use the textbook to help you)
Step 2: On your cause and effect paper, list the four (4) most important things that happen during a predator/prey relationship
Make sure you include the starting population of all involved species, identification of the predator and the prey, how the populations change and the end result of the predator/prey relationship

10. Design Your Story!
Step 3: In the top four boxes on the front of your paper, draw an illustration to represent each of the four important things that happen during a predator/prey relationship
These should be appropriate, meaningful, and COLORED
Step 4: In the bottom four boxes, write a caption for each picture.
This caption must be AT LEAST THREE complete sentences
This caption must explain what is going on in the picture
