Students will be able to:
- Using age-appropriate language, explain that reproduction of animal species varies greatly with some species having many, and some species having few, offspring.
- Using age-appropriate language, explain that the number of offspring and frequency of reproduction affects species’ population growth and size, and apply this knowledge.
- Use mathematical reasoning and skills to determine the growth of a population based on provided information.
