Population Ecology Lab Simulation - Modeling Population Growth
This guided inquiry graphing activity (both printable and digital) involves the student in a study of the growth rate of a rabbit population. The student assumes the role of a scientist to determine the birth rate, mortality rate, growth rate, and total population size of the rabbit population over a 20 year period. The data is plotted on a graph where the student will clearly see the initial exponential growth of the population followed by logistic growth. The activity will reinforce the conce

Ecology Lab - Exploring an Ecosystem Project
In this ecosystems project or activity, your students will be closely examining a small outdoor ecosystem. They will analyze the physical features of the ecosystem, the living organisms within the ecosystem, and the interactions between the biotic and abiotic components. Students will look for autotrophs, heterotrophs, predator-prey relationships, producers, consumers, decomposers, and much more. Students will create an ecosystems map to show their findings.Choose to use the traditional printabl

Evolution Lab Activity Modeling Natural Selection - Mechanisms of Evolution
Students will master the concepts of evolution by natural selection as they become predators in this lab simulation. Many students can recite a definition of natural selection, but they may have trouble visualizing how the process actually works. This lab provides a hands-on, visual activity that clearly shows natural selection in action. Further, this activity allows students to gather quantitative data to show that a population changes over time. This activity will show students that the en

Tragedy of the Commons: Goldfish Crackers
This is a lab for Advance Placement Environmental Science or an elective Environmental Science or College Environmental Science. This lab explores the concept of Tragedy of the Commons using Goldfish Crackers. The game is played twice: once with no fishing restrictions, and once with a treaty that the students devise. Most likely the first game will not go beyond the first round since the students will have removed all of the fish. Using this knowledge, the students discover what the tragedy

Rainy Day Cemetery Lab
This is a human demography lab where tombstones are analyzed to compare growth curves between those who died in the first half of the 20th Century with the last half of the 20th Century. This can be done as a field trip (get permission first!) or in the school using the tombstone pictures. The lab can be done either in the auditorium with the pictures taped to the chairs or in the classroom. This is a good lab for A.P. Environmental Science.

This is an environmental science lab that simulates strip mining by mining the cream out of a donut. The donuts have different types and amounts of cream, ore. Groups first plan on where to mine by drilling cores with a straw; remove the overburden (cake on top), mine the ore, either sell the overburden or return it. They make their decisions based on profit during the lab, and in the conclusion, they predict how their decisions affected the ecosystem and surrounding community. They also dev
