10/15: Carrying Capacity

Today was our last day of content before we will get ready for the unit 1 final on 10/23!

Today's Agenda:

• Turn in WebQuest from 10/9
• Finish notes on extinction
  • Why do extinctions happen more often on islands than on continents?
  • What does that mean about the wolves on Isle Royale?
• Notes and Game on Carrying Capacity and Limiting Factors
• Begin documentary on human overpopulation: https://vimeo.com/93670368
  • Period 2 made it 12 minutes into this movie, the other classes did not get to it. All classes will continue this movie on Friday, if time allows.

This is a page with some practice problems on carrying capacity and limiting factors. It's optional for you to try in case you want more practice on solving these questions!
