SCIENCE 
Learning Goals: We will learn about the roles populations of organisms play in ecosystems.

If you didn't turn in the Cup Stack Lab questions (Google Classroom) or your drawing (Science Notebook p. 1), you have 5 minutes to work with your group and finish!!  

Q of the Day: What is a population? (pair share/ discussion)

We will be studying the California wolverine population. Can you make some predictions about the wolverine based on this photograph?



















Read the introductory paragraph and the first section of "California Connections: Where are the Wolverines?" and take notes so that you can answer the following questions.

  • How would you describe the population of wolverines in California?
  • Where in California do wolverines live?
  • What other populations are important to the survival of the wolverine?
  • What is the function of the wolverine in the mountain ecosystem?



How has the population of wolverines changed in the past several hundred years?

If you were a scientist trying to figure out why the wolverine population has decreased, what would you try to learn about to help solve this problem?



Exit Ticket: Answer the questions on p. 2  of your Student Workbook (Populations) and turn it in.
