| 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.mountunion.edu/" target="_blank">University of Mount Union</a> by Chuck McClaugherty. </p> |

| 3 | <p>This activity has two different aspects to the learning style:</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>: BIO 230 Conservation Biology </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>: General education course, mostly science majors, all levels 1st year- 4th year college</li> |
| 6 | <li><strong>Instructional Setting</strong>: Lecture, no lab. 65 minutes available for our field trip</li> | ||
| 7 | <li><strong>Implementation Timeframe</strong>: Three 65-minute class periods near the end of the semester</li> | ||
