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

Visualizing Nerve Impulse Concepts Using Dominos: Hands-on Lab Experience
This lab experience has students using dominos in a few different ways to represent concepts about the nerve impulse. Because the nerve impulse can be so abstract, this hands-on learning experience will help students visualize nerve impulse concepts. This lab has students think about the all-or-none response, refractory period, role of myelin, and saltatory conduction. This experience could be used in a high school anatomy, biology, or neurophysiology class.
