Students will simulate the method of population sampling called “mark and recapture” to create a mock sampling of species in a particular environment. Students will record the results in a spreadsheet and graph the data. They will analyze the results of their sampling and determine the number of species in that particular area. Students will then synthesize the class results and determine whether the environment is healthy and can sustain the life within it.
