ACTIVITY 1: Population Density
Directions:
1. Study the illustration below-showing patterns of didtribution usinh the legend below.
2. Count the total number of each population using the table below.
3. compute the population density usinh the formila for calculating population density.
LEGEND:
• birds
• frogs
• snakes
AREA: 200 sqm
FORMULA OF HOW TO CALCULATE POPULATION DENSITY;
POPULATION DENSITY= number of individuals ÷ Size of the area
TABLE- Population Density Complete the table below usinh the given illustraition. Compute the density of the population using the formula for Calculating Population Density.

QUESTIONS:
1. How will you describe the distribution of patterns of the organisms?
2. Identify the population with the greatest density? Which has the least density?
3. What do you think is the importance of knowing the population density of the specie in a certain area?
4. Why do you think there are differences in population density?
