May 11	9-11 LS2B Living organisms have the capacity to produce very large populations. Population density is the number of individuals of a particular population living in a given amount of space	Population Study Results	Part II – Interactive Populations Pages 713-717. P/P 1-3		Evaluate the conditions necessary for rapid population growth (e.g., given adequate living and nonliving resources and no disease or predators, populations of an organism increase at rapid rates
12	9-11 LS2C Population growth is limited by the availability of matter and energy found in resources, the size of the environment, and the presence of competing and/or predatory organisms	Population Study Results	Pages 717-719 P/P 4-6, R/C 1-5		Explain factors, including matter and energy, in the environment that limit the growth of plant and animal populations in natural ecosystems
13/14		Population Study Results  Explain Part 1, p/p 1-6	Required P/R – See handout
15	9-11 LS2D Scientists represent ecosystems in the natural world using mathematical models.	Population Study Results – Finish Write up S/T all page 712	S/T  1-4 Page 726		Draw a systems diagram to illustrate and explain why introduced (nonnative) species often do poorly and have a tendency to die out, as well as why they sometimes do very well and force out native species.
