Graphing Populations -
Rory was given data for a population of fruit flies growing in a closed environment. He was asked to determine the rate of growth and graph the population over time. He was then challenged to do the same for a population of rabbits living in a controlled environment with no predators and unlimited food supply. After he had completed these activities, we examined the two graphs and Rory was able to identify and explain the existence of a limiting factor for the flies, and exponential growth with no carrying capacity for the rabbits.
