In this exercise, students will use data concerning lifespan and demography to generate graphs, compare the survivorship curves of two cohort groups with Logrank (Mantel-Cox) tests, and explain the differences in the curves.
Students collect, interpret, graph, analyze, and present data on the demography of human survivorship using the data from tombstones in local cemeteries that provide ages...
Students use data to test hypotheses on breeding bird species richness. Students will exercise critical thinking skills to interpret data sets and maps. They will then create graphic presentations of their findings.
This activity is included in Volume 8 of Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).
Students will exercise critical thinking skills to form a hypothesis on how cheatgrass alters fire behaviors. Students will analyze data and answer questions based on their interpretation of field-based data and satellite data. Using this information, students will collaborate to create maps and graphs.

Ecology and conservation biology contain numerous examples of
populations growing without bounds or shrinking towards extinction. For these
populations, the change in the number of individuals generally follows an
exponential curve. On the other hand, limited resources may keep population
numbers in check and help maintain the population at the environment's carrying
capacity. These...
The Kids Into Discovering Science (KiDS) curriculum, designed for 5th grade students, includes 10 classroom lesson plans and one field trip lesson plan centered on a plant science experiment. Over 10 lessons and a field day, students practice observation, set up and monitor an experiment, analyze and present their data, and learn about plant ecology, soil ecology, habitats, and their local...
