Lesson Topic
population growth models
Lesson Outline
Define and discuss both the exponential population growth model and the logistic population growth model.
Present the formula used to predict the future size of a population under ideal conditions.
Elicit properties of a J curve and examine them.
Elicit properties of the S curve and discuss them. This curve predicts the growth of populations subject to density dependent factors.
Define overshoot and die off. Examine both from a printed graph.
Discuss the effect of predation on the S growth curve, and explain why there are oscillations along the carrying capacity line
