Survivorship Curves… with Bubbles? 🫧🌎
In Mrs. Coat's Environmental Science class. students took a hands-on approach to studying survivorship curves—using bubbles! Each bubble represented a life, and students had different roles: protecting them, letting nature take its course, or popping them as quickly as possible.
By gathering data from their experiment, they will model different types of survivorship curves and analyze real-world population dynamics. Learning about life expectancy has never been so poppable!
