National Identity: Case Study Analysis:
Examine UAE population growth
trends over the past few decades.
Identify the main factors contributing
to these trends and discuss their
interplay.

Topic 4: Ecosystems

Lesson 1: Living things and the

environment

Learning Skills:
2.3 Investigate how populations are affected by
physical and biological components in the
ecosystem.

Success Criteria
-I can :
•Define the terminology used
by ecologists to describe
populations.

•Categorize the factors that
affect the populations

•Summarize the factors that
affect the population of a
particular place/area.

Challenge Questions:
Why is understanding the concepts of
immigration and emigration important in
studying population dynamics?

Lesson Structure:

MS-LS2-4: Construct an argument supported by
empirical evidence that changes to physical or
biological components of an ecosystem affect
populations

• It will increase.
• It will decrease.
• It will stay the same.
• It will fluctuate.

Multiple Choice

What is the formula to calculate population density?

• Population * Area

• Area / Population

• Population + Area

• Population / Area

Multiple Choice

True or False: Emigration refers to people leaving a country to settle in another country.

• True

• False

• Emigration refers to people leaving a city to settle in another city.

• Emigration refers to people leaving a country to settle in the same country.

Multiple Choice

True or False: Population density is the number of individuals per unit of area.

• True

• Population density is the number of individuals per unit of volume.

• False

• Population density is the number of individuals per unit of time.

Multiple Choice

If the number of births is greater than the number of deaths in a population, what will happen to the growth of the population?

• It will fluctuate.
• It will decrease.
• It will stay the same.
• It will increase.

Multiple Select

Multiple Choice

When a population grows past the ecosystem's carrying capacity, what happens to the population?

• Continues to grow
• The population starts to die off to return to carrying capcity
• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources
• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity

Population density
is the average number
of individuals per unit
of area or volume.

Multiple Choice

How is population density calculated?

• By dividing the total population of an area by the total land area of that area.

• By multiplying the total population of an area by the total land area of that area.

• By subtracting the total population of an area from the total land area of that area.

• By adding the total population of an area to the total land area of that area.

Multiple Choice
