Dissolved Oxygen, Biologic Oxygen Demand and Dissolved Carbon Dioxide
This activity examines the water quality of 3 different saltwater aquariums (control variables of volume, light and temperature) with different amounts of dead fish in them (differing amounts of decomposing biomass, and the biological oxygen demand, BOD, created by increased decomposer populations). Over a 22-day trial, the quantities, levels, of dissolved oxygen, DO, and dissolved carbon dioxide, DIC, and pH levels are collected. The students graph the data, analyze trends and patterns and answ

Frogs in a Pond Ecosystem Simulation
Students are assigned a starting population of frogs from one of 11 different ponds in the Central Florida area. They track the health of their population over a 10-year simulated timespan (10 rolls of the dice). Each time they roll, something happens to their frogs that year that impacts the population. Sometimes an alligator moves into their pond and starts eating frogs. Sometimes a hurricane hits increasing the size of their pond and the number of insects their frogs eat (resulting in a p

Modeling Population Growth - Ecology Lab Simulation
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 conc
