| 1 | <p>How does a bald eagle population change over time at a winter migratory stopover and which factors influence its abundance?</p> | 1 | <p>This activity was completed during a 2.5 hour session of Biology 101 (non-majors biological science) at an open-enrollment community college.</p> |

| 3 | <p>I used a closely regulated, guided approach to cover this topic. Students had never used Excel in this class, and had limited experience developing scientific studies. Thus, I chose to create documents (an Excel file, worksheet, and PowerPoint presentation) that coordinated with each other. I also used the HHMI Excel tutorial to help introduce students to the basic structures and functions of Excel spreadhseets. This exercise is hyperlinked in the student worksheet. Students were able to follow a prescribed pathway to completion of the activity. A main goal of this activity was to get students to generate graphs and explore patterns in the graphical data. For students who were able to finish the graphing portion of the lab, this exercise was concluded with a linear regression analysis to test for significance of the patterns they thought they saw in the data.</p> | ||
