Limiting factors lab all classes
Here are the questions from the limiting factors lab in case you did not finish in class. Below that you will find the rubric for the lab.
Analyze: Write your answers in your science notebook, journal, or separate sheet of paper
1.What was the initial mean height of your Alien Bugs? How was it calculated?
2.After the disease came, what happened to the Alien Bugs that were 5 meters or less in height? List two possible explanations.
3.What was the “second” mean height of your Alien Bugs? How did you calculate this value?
4.What was the “third” mean height of your Alien Bugs? What was the mathematical calculation that you used.
5.How did the mean height of the Alien Bugs change over time? What was the direct cause for this change in height? Explain.
6.GRAPH [Population Sample] vs. [Height of Population and Height of Vegetation.
Conclusions:
Answer your hypothesis, describing what you learned in this lab about limiting factors effect on a specific population. Your conclusion should include an explanation about how we were able to study “environmental” changes using the model instead of using real animals. Specifically, how did we model reproduction, the effect of food supply, and differences in animal size? Compare your model to “real animals” citing similarities and differences. (At least 5-7 sentences)
RUBRIC:
40pts total
5pts-materials list
5pts-lab completed; all work shown, complete sentences
10pts-accurate, neat graph. labeled x and y axis
10pts-accurate neat data table
10pts-well written conclusion, use your FRIESS!
10pts-all analysis questions answered accurately.
