| 1 | <p>How does a bald eagle population change over time at a winter migratory stopover and which factors influence its abundance?</p> | 1 | <p>The module was implemented at <a href="http://www.georgefox.edu/" target="_blank">George Fox University</a> by Paige E. Copenhaver-Parry, PhD. </p> |

| 5 | <ul> | 3 | <ul> |
| 6 | <li>Guided Approach: Students will generate questions abut bald eagle numbers influenced by weather and food availability. Students will then use graphing software (JMP of Excel) to compile the data in a graphical form to answer their questions.</li> | 4 | <li><strong>Course</strong>: BIOL 360 Ecology</li> |
| 7 | <li>Open-Ended Approach: Students will generate their own hypothesis of interest from the larger bald eagle data set. This approach is encouraged for upper division ecology students in conservation biology, wildlife management, or population ecology classes.</li> | 5 | <li><strong>Course Level</strong>: Upper division biology majors</li> |
| 6 | <li><strong>Instructional Setting</strong>: Lab & Lecture</li> | ||
| 7 | <li><strong>Implementation Timeframe</strong>: Two 50-minute lecture periods with associated homework</li> | ||
