The Game of Population Changes

This lesson plan uses multicolor paper dots to model how events change a bird population over time.

"You are a scientist observing a community of birds in the forest. Periodically, different events occur and have an effect on the populations of different birds. As a dedicated scientist and observer, you record all of these changes and watch how the community changes over time."
