Population Estimates: Bringing Math and Science Together

Project EXTREMES lessons were written to be stand alone lessons, but this activity may be used prior to a field study to provide students with practice in estimating or used in a unit on ecosystems.

During this activity students will learn how to estimate population size using two techniques, density extrapolation and the mark-recapture method.
