FIRST 20 MINUTES: Finish the video
SECOND 40 MINUTES: Read the case study on deer management.
Decide which of the role players in the scenario is the most reasonable, and detail why you believe this to be so. Pick an area of the country where deer are plentiful (no more than 1/4 of a state) , and then another where deer are not plentiful. Think about the biome that is represented by these two settings.
Use the 4 study questions found in the case study to help think about how you will manage deer herds in these two settings. (kill 'em, introduce tertiary predators, stop hunting, sterilize them, or a million other things.) Create a comparison poster or digital artifact that shows me your understanding of the deer's role as a consumer, the links it has to the food web, and how the tragedy of the commons can be dealt with.
LAST 20 MINUTES: Explain how aging the deer population can impact how we understand the dynamics of deer in a location by trying to understand the resources found here
