APES Unit 3 Card Sort Activity – Generalist vs. Specialist, r/K & Survivorship
Looking for a hands-on, student-centered way to teach species strategies and population dynamics? In this 2-day AP Environmental Science activity, students use species cards and trait-based analysis to investigate how generalist vs. specialist niches, r-/K-selected reproduction, and survivorship curves (Types I, II, and III) influence species survival. As students sort, categorize, and compare organisms, they identify patterns and evaluate how species traits and human impacts (HIPPCO) af
