Population Biology virtual lab & vocab

Today you will work on 

• Creating a document to turn in for the Virtual Population Biology Lab.  You can either, type up something in a google doc or presentation, or take a picture of your notebook and insert that into a google doc to turn into Canvas.  Please make sure you have all parts of the rubric before submitting the assignment.
• With a partner, go to google drive and create a google slides presentation for vocabulary. Follow the direction in Canvas for what needs to be on each slide and for a list of the required vocab terms.
• There is also an Ecology Quiz on Canvas.  You will have two attempts to get the best score possible.  You may want to work on your vocab slides before you attempt the quiz.

Vaccines and population information (pgs 59-60)

Summaries for this week go on pg 59

We are going to watch a nova special on vaccinations.  Think about populations and how more populated areas might be affected more (density dependent vs density independent factors).

If time allows, discuss exponential and logistic growth as well as virtual lab.
