Performing and Recording:  Students will conduct investigations into relationships between and among observable variables and use a broad range of tools and techniques to gather and record data and information • design and perform an experiment or a computer simulation to demonstrate the effect of environmental factors on population growth rate (IP-NS2)(IP-NS3)(IP-NS4)(PR-NS3)(PR-NS4)[ICT C6-4.4][ICT F1-4.2] ;   e.g  •monitor a paramecium population over time, using a microscope and a grid slide (PR-NS2)(PR-NS3)(PR-NS4)(PR-NS5)   •research zebra mussel population growth in the Great Lakes (PR-NS1)(PR-NS4)  •research the impact of introduced trout species on populations of native bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in Alberta’s lakes and streams (PR-NS1) )
