Objective: SWBAT build a histogram in order to display the variation of traits that exist in a single population.

Do Now: 

Think about what you have learned so far about populations in general and the rough-skinned newt population that has lots of predators in the park.

What prediction would you make about the poison-level traits in this population? Explain.

Guided Notes: 

Vocabulary:
 Distribution: the number of individuals with each trait in a population
 Histogram: a graph that uses bars to show how characteristics or values are distributed within a group
 Population: a graph that uses bars to show how characteristics or values are distributed within a group
 Trait: a specific characteristic of an individual organism
 Variation: any difference in traits between individual organisms
 Abiotic: not living organisms
 Biotic: living organisms

Why are histograms helpful?

Practice:

Chapter 1: Environmental Change and Trait Distribution
Lesson 1.3: Exploring Variation and Distribution in Populations

Complete each mission in the Sim by adjusting the trait-level and variation sliders. Zoom in to the environment to observe the individual organisms. draw the histogram of each mission, then mark each mission as complete as you go.

Complete the four chellenges below

How can histograms be used to help describe a population?
CFS:
Accurately identifies relationship and trends in the data set
Accurately describes the relationship between different variables in a population
