1. The Predator-Prey Simulation
Quantcast -Advertisement- _ _ _ -Advertisement- The Predator-Prey Simulation Dorothy Reardon 1991 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute Objectives: The student simulates the interactions between a predator population of lynx and a prey population of rabbits in a meadow. After collecting the data, the student graphs the data and then extends the graph to predict the populations for several more generations. Background: Before playing this game students should be able to define a food chain, population, immigration, predator and prey. Materials: one 7.5...

2. Peter Rabbit Meets Charles Darwin
...nd it codes for long ears. Allele a is recessive and codes for short ears. If you count the alleles in the population below you will see that the alleles are equally distributed: 50%A and 50%a. Suddenly (Oh horror!) an earthquake occurs , the river changes course and the rabbit population is split. Rabbits don't swim well and the populations are effectively isolated. The allele frequencies in ear length remain the same, however. (Count them and see.) The earthquake has disrupted things and the southern population migrates south in search of food and the northern population migrates north in search of...

3. Speedy Reading
...y the pace of their reading speed. Materials: Fuzz and the Buzz (Educational Insights), chart with a path through the forest (marked off in intervals of 20 for how many words the student can read in 1 minute) and a carrot at one end, rabbit dicuts, velcro (to attach to the chart and one side of the rabbits, stop watch, marker to write names on rabbits Procedure: 1. Review the correspondence u=/u/. It will be helpful to the students because this correspendence is used a great deal in the book that will be read in this lesson. Give a book talk on Fuzz and the Buzz. This book is about a little bear by th...

4. Project File - Animal Homes
...ving in their habitats. Have children follow the steps outlined on the Student Worksheet to complete the activity. As children take notes, tell them to write down the name of the habitat and the animals that live there, and to write a few facts about the animals. Remind them to write facts, such as Rabbits live in burrows, rather than opinions, such as Rabbits are cute. Distribute supplies such as poster board and markers for the activity. Help children label the animals and write facts on their posters.

5. Viruses
...ymmetrical shapes. A good example of this is the adenovirus, an icosohedron made of equilateral triangle subunits. This provides two-fold rotational symmetry. This symmetry provides the strongest structure with the fewest subunits (also seen in geodesic dome buildings). The introduction of European rabbits into Australia generated an interesting study in virus evolution. Rabbits were introduced to Australia to give hunters something to shoot. But, they multiplied so fast that they competed with the sheep for the available grass. There were too many rabbits to shoot. So scientists developed a pox virus...

6. Viruses and Host Evolution
...population of host organisms, both the host organisms and the parasitic organisms are influenced by each other. Since viruses evolve faster than all other organisms (20-30 generations per day), they have a greater potential to change the host population. Evolution Of A Viral Host In 1859, European rabbits were introduced into Australia for hunting purposes. Since there were no natural predators for rabbits in Australia, the rabbits soon multiplied in an uncontrolled fashion and became a major problem. The rabbits attacked and ate crops intended for human consumption. In 1950, two virologists introduc...

7. Light the Fire Within | Curriculum | Science | Second Grade
...es wearing their winter outdoor clothes. Discuss student drawings, pointing out what clothing is worn to keep them warm. Explain that just as people wear different clothes during the winter than they do in the summer, animals adapt to the changes in the weather as well. Look at pictures of snowshoe rabbits, coyotes, and bears. Read about their behaviors and adaptations. Help students identify the ways in which each animal adapts to the winter. (Bears hibernate, rabbits change color to match the snow, etc.) Discuss the ways in which other Utah animals adapt to changing weather. Divide a piece of drawin...

8. Natural Selection II
...of animal did he observe (be specific)? (2pts. each) Materials: (Captain Crunch Cereal) 50 tan squares , 50 crunch blue berries, 1 paper bag or deep bowl, 3 dishes or containers, labels, pens Procedures: (42 minutes) In this activity, you will examine natural selection in a small population of wild rabbits. Evolution, on a genetic level, is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population over a period of time. Breeders of rabbits have long been familiar with a variety of genetic traits that affect the survivability of rabbits in the wild, as well as in breeding populations. One such trait is the...

9. Much-Loved Velveteen Rabbit
...he days when he was the most important toy in the playroom. Draw your favorite scenes to show how he was worn out from lots of love. Steps 1. Read The Velveteen Rabbit. Notice how through pictures you can see the rabbit become more shabby and worn. 2. On white construction paper, draw two Velveteen Rabbits using Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils. Make one rabbit look brand new, clean and crisp. Make the second one look shabby. The bow around his neck could look perfect or torn and tattered, for example. If you change your mind, just erase and draw again. 3. Cover your art area with newspaper. Color t...
