Lesson 4: Population Ecology & Growth Models
Duration of Days: 3
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?
