1. W.U. Human population growth graph
2. Chrome book time (work on #5 of Eco project:  Population Dynamics)

H.W. #5 Population Dynamics: 
a.    Define exponential growth.  Research a population found in your ecosystem that demonstrates exponential growth patterns.  Describe this population and draw a sample graph of exponential population growth of this group.
b.    Define logistic growth.  Research a population found in your ecosystem that demonstrates logistic growth patterns.  Describe this population and draw a sample graph of logistic population growth for this population.  Label all parts of the graph.
****Identify which pattern of population growth your endangered/threatened species demonstrates.  Use your organism as the example for that pattern.
c.    Define density-dependent limiting factors.  Identify 3-4 density-dependent limiting factors to population growth that impact your endangered organism.
d.    Define density-independent limiting factors.  Identify 2-3 density-independent limiting factors to population growth that impact your endangered organism.

**All parts of your Eco Portion of this project should now be complete**
**Change your google doc permision from "view" to "comment" so that I (ewilliams@hbuhsd.edu) can make comments on your google doc**
