Curriculum Expectations:
F1.1 analyse the effects of human population growth, personal consumption, and technological development on our ecological footprint.
F2.1- use appropriate terminology related to population dynamics, including, but not limited to: carrying capacity, population growth, population cycle, fecundity and morality.
F2.2 use conceptual and mathematical population growth models to calculate the growth of populations of various species in an ecosystem
F3.1 - explain the concepts of interaction (e.g., competition, predation, defence mechanism, symbiotic relationship, parasitic relationship) between different species
F3.1 explain the concepts of interaction (e.g., competition, predation, defence mechanism, symbiotic relationship, parasitic relationship) between different species
F3.2 describe the characteristics of a given population, such as its growth, density (e.g. fecundity, mortality), distribution, and minimum viable size
F3.3 explain factors such as carrying capacity, fecundity, density, and predation that cause fluctuation in populations, and analyse the fluctuation in the population of a species of plant, wild animal, or microorganism
Learning Goals – Students will be able to:
1. Identify the growth rate, density, distribution and size of population.
2. Explain the interactions that happen between species
3. Use different factors such as growth rate, density, and distribution and population size to describe a population.
4. Explain factors such as carrying capacity, fecundity, density and predation. Use these terms to describe the fluctuation in a population.
5. Connect there actions to the impact those actions have on the environment through Eco-footprint analysis.
