Bunny Population Growth



Title Bunny Population Growth
Description I was first introduced to this simulation during a NMSI training. I love the simulation and will definitely use it again when teaching natural selection (which will be great because the kids will already be familiar with it!), however I wanted to find a way to adapt it to focus more on population growth. This activity was created as an "Explore" activity at the beginning of a unit on Population Ecology to align with the NGSS standards HS-LS-2-1 and HS-LS-2-2.
