Oh Deer Student Response Sheet
1. Name three essential components of habitat (things animals need to survive).
A.Water
B.Shleter
C.food
2. Explain what caused the increase of “deer” during the activity you participated in.
The deer population was increased becuse there were plenty of resources
3. Explain what caused the decrease of “deer” during the activity you participated in.
The decrease of deer was caused by different means such as fire, other predators, distaster of resources.
4. Define the term limiting factor. Give examples of limiting factors for the deer in our activity.
Limiting factor is the thing that controls the population, in the acivity resources were the limiting factors.
5. Graph the data from the activity and attach to this sheet (make sure to correctly title and label
the axes). Describe what the graph of our data looks like. How and why did our deer
population change?
The data in the graph shows different kinds of change each year

6. Often we use the phrase “balance of nature” to describe a healthy ecosystem.
Based on our graph, what does the “balance of nature” look like? Should we expect populations to be static (unchanging) or do they naturally fluctuate?
Explain.
They naturally fluctuate because the more consumers reproduce, the
more population, the more resources are to be consumed. So the balance is always
changing naturally.
7. What did you learn about population dynamics by doing
this activity?
When there are more resources there will b more der population, When there are less resources there will be less deer population, That includes any disasters that happens to the resources
