30-D3.3s

Analyzing and Interpreting:  Students will analyze data and apply mathematical and conceptual models to develop and assess possible solutions   -•graph and interpret population growth of r-selected and K-selected organisms (AI-NS2)[ICT C7-4.2]   •calculate and interpret change in population size, growth rate, per capita growth rate and population density (AI-NS2)(AI-NS3)(AI-NS4) ;   e.g. •compare and evaluate human population growth rates in various countries (AI-NS2)[ICT C7-4.2]  •demonstrate and assess the effect of environmental factors (biotic potential and environmental resistance) on population growth curves (AI-NS2)(AI-NS6) •calculate population growth rate under ideal conditions, given specific parameters (AI-NS3)(AI-NS4) -*state a generalization based on data for the growth of a closed population (AI-NS2)(AI-NS6)  •explain limitations in identifying changes in populations and explain how traditional knowledge can contribute to knowledge about changes (AI-NS4)
