Field studies

Year 8 have been revising the common entrance syllabus. 
This week we looked at field studies. We worked out the population density of daisies on the golf course. 


We placed the quadrats down in four locations, chosen at random, and counted the number of daisies. Once we had recorded our results we calculated the total number of daisies and the total area tested. From this we could then calculate the average population density.
