Carrying Capacity/ Predator and Prey Interactions

In the beginning of class Mr. Banow did a homework check on our "Limiting Factors" worksheet. The Worksheet consisted of determining if a statement was density dependent or density independent. We also reviewed what density dependant and density independent meant.

Later on in class, we were given a worksheet called "Carrying Capacity". Carrying Capacity means the maximum amount of a particular organism that can be supported in an environment. The worksheet is about how a forest fire has effected the growth of Jack Pines and the growth patterns of the Jack Pine since the forest fire. We did questions 1-7 on the worksheet in groups.

We were also given another worksheet to work on in groups. The worksheet is called "Predator-Prey Interactions. The worksheet is about how one species of animal can affect the population of another species of animal. On the worksheet there was a graph to make on how the populations of deer and wolves fluctuated from a ten year span. We also did questions 1-9 on the worksheet.
