Why are larger individuals of a particular species eaten more frequently than smaller ones?<\/h1>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The primary purpose of this investigation is to introduce students to 1) the collaborative process and guided inquiry format that will be used in each investigation, 2) the lab preparation and reporting assignments, and 3) resources available for help (lab manual and faculty instructor\/peer mentors). As an introduction to the lab, this investigation thus differs from the others in that the hypothesis to be tested is provided to students: \u201cLarger Catocala<\/em> moths are eaten more often than smaller ones because the larger ones are easier to see.\u201d As in each investigation, background information is presented to help frame the direction of inquiry. Foraging theory and prey crypsis are used to motivate the provided hypothesis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outcomes:\u00a0<\/strong>Inquiry 5, Inquiry 6, Inquiry 7, Inquiry 8<\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Lab-Aids Natural Selection Experiment (Kit #91)<\/span><\/a>. Provide one per group of students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Timeline<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We suggest two weeks for this investigation if it’s the first lab investigation of the term. <\/span><\/p>\n

Week 1: \u00a0Begin planning form<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. May submit by end of lab period, or in LRC<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Will complete as a group, not individually (all other planning forms are individually completed)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Week 2: \u00a0Conduct experiment and compose lab report<\/span><\/p>\n

    Assessments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Quiz<\/a><\/p>\n

    Keys and additional instructor-only notes<\/a>\u00a0(you will be asked to sign into a Google account and request access to view instructor materials)<\/p>\n
