| Notes | This lesson plan for 11th and 12th graders uses the common murre population at Yaquina Head to introduce students to important concepts such as food web processes, environmental change, trophic level basics, biological monitoring practices, and population dynamics. “The reproductive success of common murres at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area varies from year to year. Students will learn how researchers monitor seabird populations and explore data to determine how seabird reproductive success is connected to environmental conditions and trophic relationships” (from the Overview). Use of scientific datasets and critical thinking skills are emphasized. |
