Question

1900, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2010, 2020
Estimated num of panthers=
500 plus, 100, 10 through 20, 20, 20 through 30, 30 through 50, 80 through 20, 120 through 230

1. Describe the population of the Florida Panthers from the 1900s to the 1960s. What may have caused any changes you observe?
2. What happened to the populations between the 1960s and 2020? Why do you think this trends occurred?
3. Predict what you think will happen to the panther population in the next 20 years. Justify your response.

Answer all these questions very short and simple and use extremely simple vocabulary kind of like a middle schooler

Answer 1

1. From the 1900s to the 1960s, the population of Florida Panthers went from around 500 to just 10 to 20. This big drop happened because of hunting and loss of their homes (habitat) due to development.

2. Between the 1960s and 2020, the population grew from 10 to around 120 to 230. This happened because protections were put in place to save them, like laws against hunting and efforts to help their habitat.

3. I think the panther population could keep growing in the next 20 years. If people keep protecting them and their homes, the number might rise even more. But if there are too many problems, like habitat loss or cars, their population could struggle.

Answer 2

More simple

Answer 3

1. From the 1900s to the 1960s, the Florida Panther population went from about 500 to only 10 to 20. This happened because people hunted them and took away their homes.

2. From the 1960s to 2020, the population went up from 10 to about 120 to 230. This was because people started to protect the panthers and their homes.

3. I think in the next 20 years, the panther population could grow more. If we keep helping them and protecting their homes, they will be okay. But if we don’t, they could have problems again.

Answer 4

This is also based on the graph.

1. Describe the trend evidenced by the graph (i.e. what claim can you make about the panther population?).
2. Identify the data in your graph that supports the trends you identified above.
3. Using knowledge you learned from the film, provide reasoning to connect your claim and evidence.

Answer in the same way as the last three questions

Answer 5

1. The graph shows that the Florida Panther population got much smaller from the 1900s to the 1960s, but then it started to grow from the 1960s to 2020. So, we can say that the panther population is getting better after a tough time.

2. The data supports this by showing around 500 panthers in 1900, dropping to only 10 to 20 in the 1960s, and then rising to about 120 to 230 by 2020.

3. The film showed how laws helped protect the panthers and their homes. This shows that if people care and take action, the panther population can recover and grow stronger.
