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

Twist of Fate - Ecosystems NGSS High School Science Math, Life, Earth
Students enjoy this activity! They are competitive (which group makes the most money) and ethically engaged. They learn real life lessons while having fun. Physical and Mathematical Model. Students plan and “plant” their own forest. There are unexpected environmental and financial consequences for their decisions resulting from a spin of the “Twist of Fate Disturbance.” Students simulate changes with tree growth and harvest phases over time. And, there is a surprise life lesson at the end. This

Tragedy of the Commons: Goldfish Crackers
This is a lab for Advance Placement Environmental Science or an elective Environmental Science or College Environmental Science. This lab explores the concept of Tragedy of the Commons using Goldfish Crackers. The game is played twice: once with no fishing restrictions, and once with a treaty that the students devise. Most likely the first game will not go beyond the first round since the students will have removed all of the fish. Using this knowledge, the students discover what the tragedy
