    PROBLEM

    What are the characteristics of a plant allow


    it to become dominant within its
    environment?
    PROCEDURES

    1. In the classroom, introduce the concept of dynamic


    balance between biotic potential and environmental
    resistance relative to population growth. Take a mini-
    field trip outside in the schoolyard. Ask students, to form
    into 4 groups, to identify plants growing in the
    schoolyard and choose one for further investigation.
    PROCEDURES

    2. Have students create a chart to list the biotic potential


    and environmental resistance for each chosen schoolyard
    plant using plant books, encyclopedias, the Internet, and
    field observation.
    PROCEDURES

    3. Ask each group groups to create and name an imaginary


    exotic plant species. Have them chart biotic potential and
    environmental resistance and draw a picture of the exotic
    plant.
    4. Describe how the imaginary species would get into each
    chosen plant’s ecosystem, and based on its biotic potential and
    environmental resistance, discuss ways in which people could
    control the plant’s spread.
    PROCEDURES

    5. Each group should complete the table below:


    PROCEDURES

     6.Each group should pick someone who will present in


    the class the group's output.
     7.Each group will be rated according to the rubric
    below:
    ANALYSIS
     What is Biotic Potential?
     What is Environmental Resistance?
     What are the factors that affect biotic potential?
     What is an example of biotic potential?
     What determines biotic potential?
     What are the factors of environmental resistance?
