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. |

I like some of the questions where you ask the students to use their observations for sense making. I think you could use less directions about how to use the sim.
