M and M Quadrat Sampling Lab for Population Density
If the weather does not permit you to go outside to do real quadrat sampling why not do this one instead? M and Ms take the place of trees. I think you could also modify this activity for a math class in terms of studying probability. It would create a real-life application for probability.
