Lesson Objective

Apply mathematical growth formulas to predict population changes over time.

Interpret population growth curves to identify carrying capacity and periods of maximum growth rate.

What mathematical conditions allow a population to experience exponential growth vs. logistic growth?

How do birth, death, immigration, and emmigration rates dictate population dynamics?
