Summary:
In this lesson, students interpret graphs of pollinator movement behavior. Then, students view and reflect on an interview with community ecologist Dr. Suann Yang., who collected the data that they interpreted.
Description
This lesson was designed for a 75-min class period with in-person delivery. Target student level is introductory biology for majors. The materials here include an instructor guide (1_LessonGuide_MakeYourMove), an in-class presentation (Google slides; 2_PresentationSlides_MakeYourMove), a summative assessment (3_SummativeAssessment_MakeYourMove), and a link to the interview with Dr. Suann Yang, (BioGraphI Interview with Dr. Suann Yang)

Diversity/equity/inclusion learning objectives
- Reflect on your perceptions of people who do biology.
- Compare your own interests and/or identities to those of people who do biology.
Content learning objectives
- Name the levels at which biodiversity is measured, and identify examples of each level.
- Identify examples of the major interspecific interactions.
- Relate outcomes of competition to competitive exclusion, resource partitioning, and character displacement.
