This guided inquiry activity involves the student in the study of the growth rate in a rabbit population. The student assumes the role of scientist to determine the growth rate and the 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 reinforcement the concept of carrying capacity. Follow up questions are though provoking and will strengthen critical thinking skills.

This product is also included in a complete unit plan bundle that includes everything you need to complete a unit on this topic: Population Ecology Complete Unit Plan.

This lab is appropriate for students in grades 8 - 12. The experiment and collection of data is easily completed by students in these grades. You will receive both a Word document and a PDF of this lab in your download.

I use this lab when teaching my unit on Population Ecology. It is the perfect activity to follow my PowerPoint on Population Ecology.

This document consists of 8 pages. The student handout is 5 pages long and consists of Title, Introduction, Purpose, Procedure, Data Table, Graphing Grid, Equations, Calculations, and Analysis Questions.

Also included is a 3-page teacher guide. This teacher guide includes answers to all questions found in the student handout.
