Graph: Predator-Prey Relationship

The students were very excited today to learn about different reading strategies. Many students find such concepts a little bit boring. However, I was happy to see all the look of excitement on everyone's faces when we learned about connections, visualizations, inferences, skimming, scanning, etc. We modelled how to use some of the strategies and the students had practice putting these strategies to work! You did great today everyone! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

LEARNING INTENTIONS: To use different reading strategies to deepen your understanding of the reading material.

1.) LA:

Play around with your Animoto account and make a quick video of your what you did over the Thanksgiving weekend! If you have a mobile device, download the app and it will make things much easier for you! If you like, you can show your classmates on Tuesday, or you can post a link to your video here over the weekend.

2.) MATH 6:

Watch this short video clip on 'GOOD TIMES WITH PRIMES' with your parents to prepare you for Tuesday's math class! HINT: I wonder if you will have a pop quiz on prime numbers? ;-)
We will be having 'GOOD TIMES WITH PRIMES' in Math next week! I know how excited all of you must be! WOOT! WOOT!

MATH 7: Any assigned work. Check your teacher's website.

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

Click here to view a graph of the predator-prey relationship between the moose and the wolf. Answer the following questions using full and complete sentences. This means you must pay attention to the conventions of writing: spelling, grammar, capitals, structure, etc.
What two things does this graph compare?
What is range of years that is shown on this graph?
What does the legend show?
For every 500 Moose, how many wolves are represented?
In ~ which year was the moose population the highest and how many were present? Pay attention to the scale on the bottom of the graph. Before answering this question and the next 3, Ask yourself, "How many years does each space represent?"
In ~ which year was the moose population the lowest and how many were present?
In ~ which year was the wolf population the highest and how many were present?
In ~ which year was the wolf population the lowest and how many were present?
Explain why you think the moose population was so high in the year ~1980.
Explain why you think the wolf population was so high in the year ~1996.
~ means approximately

The graph compares the moose and the wolf and how they survived from 1959 of years. The range of years in the graph are 1959-2009. The legend shows that the moose's stats are shown in white and the wolf's stats are shown in black. The answer is 10. The moose population was at its highest point in 1980 and 2500 moose were present. Each space represents 10 years. I think it was in 1991 or 1992 and about 600-700 moose were present. The wolves population was at its highest point in 1996 and about 50 wolves were present. The wolves population was at it's lowest point in 2007 and 9 wolves were present. I think the moose population was so high because there wasn't enough wolves in that area to eat the moose at that time. I think the wolf population was so high because the amount of wolves overpopulated in that area and there weren't enough moose for every wolf so they had to fight for their food.

The graph compares the population of the wolf and moose. The range on the graph is from 1959 to 2009. The legend shows witch graph is for moose and witch graph is for wolfs. I see that 0 wolfs are represented in every 500 moose. In 1995 the moose were at there highest with about 2400 moose. In the yer 2007 the mooose were at there lowest and the were about 400 moose. In 1983 the wolfs were at there highest and there were about 55 wolfs. In the year 1988-1993 the wolfs were at ther lowest and there were about 15 wolfs. I think the moose were at there highest in the year 1980 because the were no wolfs around them.

i dont understand the last question

The population of Wolves and moose.
1959 to 2009
what has happened to there populations in long periods of time.
10 Wolves to 500 Moose.
About 2400 Moose in the year 1987.
about 470 moose in the year 2007.
about 10 wolves in the year 1989.
About 48 wolves in the year 1979.
I think because the wolves are low because they might have been killed a lot in that time.
I think because of the cold that the moose where dying because it was so cold.

1. The graph compares the number of wolves to the number of moose for a given year
2. The range of years on the graph covers 1959 to 2009 at lest; giving us 50 years of data.
3. The legend shows that the line with the white circle represent wolves and the line with the black circle represent the moose.
4. For every 500 moose There are 10 wolves represented on the vertical axis of the graph.
5. The Moose population was at it's highest in 1996 with a number of about 2400.
6. The moose population was at it's lowers in 2007 with a number of about 400.
7. The wolves had a population high in 1979 reaching a population of 50.
8. The wolf population was at its lowest in 1988, 1989, 1991 and 1992 with a number of 11 wolves at those times.
9. In 1980 the wolf population was high at 50 and the moose population low at about 750.
10. The moose population rose as the wolf population dwindled. The result of lack of natural predators on the population.

This graph compares the wolf and moose population. The range of years shown in this graph are from 1959 to 2009. The legend shows what kind of line is which animal. For every 500 moose there are 10 wolves shown. At about 1985-1986 there were 2500 moose. Each space represents 10 years and the middle one is 19x5. The lowest population amount of the moose is about 4xx at 2007ish. At 1981, there were 50 wolves which is the highest amount. The lowest amount of the wolves were at 1987-1993, there were 11-12 wolves.
I think that the wolves were high when the moose were low because the wolves ate the moose. On the opposite hand, when the moose was high and wolves were low maybe the moose' predator, the wolves are getting hunted down so the moose then don't get eaten.

The predator and prey relationship of the wolf and moose. 1995 - 2009. The symbols that were used to show. For every 500 moose there is 10 wolves. The moose population reach its highest between 1996 with a number that was around 2375 - 2400. The moose population had reached its lowest in 2007 with a number around 400. About 2490 wolves in 1980 (Around this time range) There was about 10 - 12 wolves at the time around 1887 - 1992. Because there was less wolves than normal to kill of all the moose. Basicly it is just the opposite for this one...

1) The predator and prey relationship
2) 1959-2009
3) It shows what animal is what so wolves are white and moose are black (Dots)
4) On the chart there shows 10 wolves
5) 1982 and there were 2500 moose.
6) It was in approximately 2004 with about 400 moose.
7) In year 1981 there were a high of 50 wolves.
8) In 1988 the wolves was around 13.
9) I think they were high because there was a lot of food then or maybe they found a place where they could stay for shelter.
10) I think it was high because there might have been a lot of little animals running around so they could live off of them

The graph shows the mouse was vary high in 1999-2004 an vary low in 2003-5. The graph shows that the wolf is vary high in 1979 and vary low in 1987-89.

REVISED
The moose was very populated in 1988-1990 and very low in 2003-2005. The wolf was very populated in 1978-1979,and very low in 1987-1989.

4) about 10 wolfs
5) the year was 1994 and there was about 2400
6)the year was 1979 and there was 2500
7) the year was 1989
8) because I saw that the wolf was low when the moose was high I think that maybe the moose was high because the wolfs where dying.
9) baisically the same thing.

1.)The predator and prey relationships.
2.)1959 - 2009
3.)wolves are the white things and the moose are the black things or dots on the graph.
4.) somewhere about 10 wolves
5.)1997 some were in between 2400 and 2500
6.)2005 with around 450 moose.
7.)1981 with about 2500 wolves.
8.)1988 - 1989 with about 510 wolves.
9.)the moose population was so high in the time because the wolves were low in numbers around the 80s.
•Explain why you think the wolf population was so high in the year ~1996. because there where probably lots of moose in that time that they could eat to survive, that explains the population spike for the wolves in 1996.

This graph is comparing the wolf and moose population from 1959-2009. The legend shows that the wolves are the white lines and the moose are the black dots. For every 500 moose, there are 10 wolves shown. At about 1997-1999 there were 2500 moose. At about 2005 there were 400 moose. In 1980, there were about 52 wolves. And at about 1988, there were around 12 wolves. I think the wolves were high when the moose were low, because, the wolves could have been eating the moose. Or the moose could have had not enough food to eat. But I think the moose were high when the wolves were low, because, the wolves could have been getting hunted down by the other predators or even the moose.

1) This graph compares the moose and the wolf.
2) It is in between1959 and 2009.
3) The legend shows what represents each animal in this graph. The white line is wolves and the black line is moose.
4) For every 500 moose there are ten wolves.
5) It was approximately 2500 moose in the year 1994
6) At about 2007 there were about 300 to 400 moose.
7) In the year 1980 there were about 50 wolves.
8) throughout the years 1989 to 1993 there were about 11 or 12 wolves.
9)The moose were probably high because there were not as many wolfs to fight and there might have been more of other animals.
10) The wolves were probably very high because there weren't as many moose attacking them.

This graph compares the population of wolves and moose. The years range from 1959 to 2009. The legend in the corner shows that the wolves are white dots and the moose are black dots. For every 500 moose there are 10 wolves, according to the graph. 1994 was when the population of moose was highest, at almost 2500 moose, and approximately 2009 was when the population was lowest, almost 500 moose. For wolves, the time was just above 1979 when their population was highest, nearing 50 of them, and around 1989 was when their population was lowest, so low it was almost only 10! I think that the populations of these animals vary high to low based on when their prey thrives or declines. If they lose too much prey, they lose a major survival component. Then they might catch sickness that can weaken them or kill them.

It shows the ups and downs of wolf life and moose life from 1959-2009.For every 500 moose there are (about) 10 wolfs,and the legend shows that the white dots are wolfs and the blacks ones mooses.I think the moose population(in that area)highest point was around 1996, there were around 2500. The lowest point was in 2006 and there were about 300-400.
The highest point for the wolfs was in 1978 and there were around 50.The least amount of wolfs was in the year 1988 and there were about thirteen wolfs.I think it was so high then because the moose (and other preys) numbers were larger.

(Mr. Hong, for the sake of everything pure in the world please don't ever use the phrase "Woot Woot" again, my brain just had a small meltdown because of it, it's not a cool type of "teenage lingo" as some would call it.)

1.) It shows the population of Wolves and Moose as predators and prey
2.) In the years 1959 to 2009
3.) It explains that the black dots are the moose population and that the white was the wolves.
4.) For each 500 Moose they're we're about 10 wolves for the bunch
5.) It was around 2500 moose in the year 1994
6.) In 2007 it seemed to be 350-400 moose.
7.) 50 wolves in 1980
8.) they're we're 10-12 wolves from 1989-1993
9.) Maybe because they're was more animals other then moose to eat therefore they weren't hunted as much.
10.) Maybe because they're was a lot of both nose and rabbits and stuff so they thrived

wolves-moose

1959-1969-1979-1989-1999-2009

the legend shows which of the 2 lines in the graph is the
moose/wolves population.

500 moose=10 wolves

about 2500 moose in the year 1994

50 wolves in 1980

12 wolves in 1992

there wasn't very many wolves to eat the moose

it could have been that more of the baby wolves survived because the weather wasn't cold so it was easy to catch enough food for them to survive

1) The two things that the graph compares are the population of the moose and wolves.
2)The range of year shown on the graph is from 1959 to 2009.
3)The legend shows that we are comparing moose and wolves. It also shows the colure to witch that animal would be on the graph.
4)For 500 moose, 10 wolves are represented.
5)The moose population was the highest in 1996 and there was about 2650 moose at that time.

Sorry I ran out of time I will do it later.

I was visiting Paris and I was shocked to see a pot sprouting bloody legs. The huge tree standing beside the pot starting growing arms. It knocked a statue to the ground. Everyone started screaming and running away in panic. The evil tree kidnapped the pot and took off like a rocket. The next day, the King of Pots sent his men to search for the missing pot. Threy searched everywhere. They found a dark, hidden cave where they saw the frightened and the wicked tree. It was a trap! The king's men bravely tried to save the poor pot. They sprinted in and attacked! The tree knocked them head first into the pot and they could not escape. The brave soldiers gave up their lives and the pot was returned to the garden to wait for more legs to prey on.
