Nature’s Limits: How Growth Slows Over Time
by Rhoma Geronimo-Pineda
This lesson introduces students to the logistic growth function as a model of population growth with limiting factors. Students will compare exponential and logistic growth, interpret key parameters like carrying capacity and growth rate, and use real-world data to create and evaluate logistic models. Through graphing, discussion, and guided practice, students will understand how the logistic model describes growth that slows as resources become limited, supporting connections to biology and mathematical modeling.
