Pedagogical Use Category | |
Pedagogical Use Description | Teachers can use this activity to teach about predator-prey interactions in complex habitats. It can also provide specific context for broader lessons on predator-prey dynamics, population persistence, and direct and indirect species interactions in ecosystems. Students use the scientific method in a controlled lab experiment that is open-ended and involves them in experiment design as well as data collection. Suggestions for assessment of student learning outcomes are also provided. The methods can be adapted for different scales and locations. |
