Proportion Lab: Capture-Recapture Lab with goldfish
Students thoroughly enjoy this activity as it utilizes both a real-life example and food! Students have fun learning about what scientists do in real life to determine population sizes and also simulating it with goldfish crackers. This document walks students through both the scientific process, as well as the simulation process. Students are asked to analyze the simulation, and answer a series of strategic questions.

Teaching style
Students need to make their own connections and truly understand the "why" behind every concept. Sparking students' natural curiosity with effective questioning, intriguing problems, and hands-on activities is the gateway to learning.
I begin nearly every unit with an exploration or activity that requires students to do all the hard work.
