Competition for Resources
Students collect field data, make observations, and model phenomena. While examining the presence and abundance of organisms, students consider the roles of resource limitations and interactions among those organisms.
Students will:
• Gain an understanding of the influence of limited resources and competitive interactions among organisms
• Collect and analyze data to address the correlation of resources (abiotic factors) with the presence/absence and abundance of plant and animal species (biotic)
• Use evidence and other data to predict the future of CT flora and fauna.
