Limiting Factors to Population Growth: Graphing Population Growth

For Students 7th - 8th Standards
If any of the limiting factors in an environment change, both animal and plant populations also change. The video explains two different models of growth and the impact of limiting factors. It highlights the carrying capacity of an...

Modeling London's Population

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Looking at London's population from 1801–1961 in 20 year increments, high school mathematicians determine if the data can be modeled by a given logistic growth equation. They explain their thinking and determine the values of each...

Concord Consortium: Population Curve: Significance of Breakpoints

For Students 9th - 10th
Learn about three models of population growth: linear, exponential, and logistic. Then conduct a population experiment to see how populations can work in the real world, and see how linear graphs can help simplify complicated ones.
