Pedagogical Use Description | This module can be used at any institution of higher learning. All the materials required are inexpensive and can be found at a local grocery or craft store. Additionally, this exercise can be adapted for different levels of students. For students with weaker math backgrounds, the graphs allow them to define r visually. Students with stronger math backgrounds can further examine exponential and logistic growth by using the equations. Finally, topics can be extended, depending on the depth of the course, to introduce additional concepts such as the effects of environmental stochasticity on populations growing in a density-independent (i.e., exponential) or density-dependent (i.e., logistic) |
