Natural Selection Lab Report Instructions: As you complete each slide of the Natural Selection Virtual Lab Activity, please fill in this lab report with the appropriate information and data.

Title:
Include your name, instructor’s name, and the name of the lab

Objective(s):
What is the purpose of the lab

Hypotheses:
Include the if/then statement you developed during the virtual lab.

Data Analysis:

Part 1: In your data tables you recorded the percentage of the rate of survival for both the white and brown rabbit in both the light-colored and the dark-colored environments.

Part 2: Using your percentages in part 1, create a graph that represents the rate of survival for the white and brown rabbits in each type of environment.

Insert chart [Hint: don’t forget to consider the relationship between your data and the type of graph to best represent your data. A bar graph would be the best option to analyze this data.]

Conclusion:
Be sure to answer the following reflection questions in the conclusion of your lab report:

Were your hypotheses correct or incorrect? Why or why not?
Using Table 1, which color rabbit had the higher rate of survival in the light-colored (white) environment? Explain why this occurred.
Using Table 2, which color rabbit had the higher rate of survival in the dark-colored (brown) environment? Explain why this occurred.

Questions:
Using what you have learned from the lesson and the virtual lab activity, answer the following questions in complete sentences.

How did the colors of each type of prey affect its population size over time?
What color rabbit seemed to camouflage the best in this snow habitat and why? What color rabbit seemed to camouflage the best in the summer habitat and why?
How do you predict the data would change if you continued? Explain your answer.
What traits could help a predator be more “fit” to survive in each environment?
Describe other adaptations besides color that could affect an individual’s survival.
Explain what will happen if there are not enough resources to support the individuals in a species.

why many students visually perceive stem as a vapid class?

for many students, however, stem subjects are optically discerned as vapid, tedious, and destitute of authentic-world applications. science and math have always been a major part of the high school curriculum, but many students have disengaged from these subjects because they don’t optically discern that they have any pertinence to the authentic world or students’ daily lives. for them, math and science have become a set of rules, procedures, laws, theorems, and formulas to memorize. some students even develop math apprehensiveness and cerebrate they are incapable of learning higher-level mathematics.

why is stem paramount?

as the u.s. economy changes, the ordinant dictation for stem-capable workers is growing. in may of 2014, the u.s. bureau of labor statistics counted more than 8.3 million stem jobs, which accounted for 6.2 percent of total employment in the cumulated states. that number is expected to perpetuate to increment as u.s. companies grow and innovate to compete in the ecumenical economy. according to the u.s. department of labor, the average salary for all stem jobs is $85,570, which is virtually double the average salary for all jobs.

many people still envision stem professionals as wearing a white lab coat and conducting research in a laboratory. in authenticity, some of the most in-demand stem fields are petroleum engineering, process engineering, and computer engineering. these fields that are experiencing shortages of qualified candidates are additionally among the highest paying, with the average petroleum engineer earning an annual salary of $147,520 in may 2014 according to the u.s. bureau of labor statistics.

in additament, stem subjects edify students valuable skills that are vital for prosperity in all vocations, even those that do not directly require stem erudition. engagement in stem subjects avails students develop quandary-solving, critical mentally conceiving, and leadership skills. these skills are so ecumenical, in fact, that statistics relinquished in the summer of 2013 by the u.s. census bureau designated that about three-quarters of the people with a bachelor’s degree in stem fields are not working in those vocations. many non-stem employers are poaching stem-qualified job candidates because they are more ingenious and collaborative than their non-stem counterparts.

as the ecumenical economy perpetuates to evolve, the desideratum for stem-capable workers will perpetuate to grow. by getting edifiers and students involved in the stem kineticism, an incipient generation of adroit workers will be poised to energize and expand this exhilarating field.

that scientist would be robert hooke

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right

i think that it is plants
