IV. Analysis

Teachers Activity Students Activity

Which population has the greatest density? Answers may vary
What conditions could change the
density of any of the population.
Describe how a populations
density can be used to learn about
the needs and characteristics of
that population.

V. Abstraction

Teachers Activity Students Activity

The teacher will discuss the following :
Population sizes vary among
organisms. They change with the
number of births and when they
move into an ecosystem. They also
change when members die or move
out of an ecosystem.
Limiting factors are environmental
conditions that keep a population
from increasing in size and help
balance ecosystems.
The carrying capacity is affected
by changes in the environment.
.

VI. Application

Teachers Activity Students Activity

The teacher will let the students answer
the following:
Suppose 60 ants live in a 4 sq m
plot of grass. What would be the Answers may vary
population density of the ants?
What would the population density
be if 100 ants live in an 8 sq m plot
of grass?
2.
If 40 carabaos live in a 1 sq m
area, what is their population
density per sq. km.?
