Population Quadrat
For this media piece you are making your own quadrat and collecting population data.
First, construct and use a quadrat to sample a portion of a population within a larger space. The quadrat could be string, rulers, pencils, etc. Just keep track of the size of the quadrat so you can extrapolate your data collection within the quadrat to the larger habitat.
Collect data on the organisms in the quadrat. You are collecting data to answer:
-
What is the population size?
-
How is the population distributed?
