Experiment 1, "Dynamics of population growth: exponential and logistic growth" examines continuous population growth by growing duckweeds (Lemna spp.)

Experiment 2, "Resource limitation and population growth" examines the conditions that result in maximum population growth of Lemna by manipulating the resources that limit growth including nutrients, light, and surface area.

Experiment 3, "Population growth and resource competition in Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza", studies the population growth and competition of two species of floating aquatic plants.
In Part A the growth of lab populations of Lemna minor and Sprirodela polyrhiza grown alone and in mixed cultures are monitored.
In Part B the magnitude of interaction is explored by growing monocultures and mixed cultures under conditions of two nutrient concentrations and two levels of light intensity.
