In Mrs. Donleson's AP Biology class on Monday, students used beans to calculate Simpson’s Diversity Index, measuring the richness and evenness of ecosystems. 🌿🐜
From sorting tiny organisms to crunching the numbers, they calculated how biodiversity indicates the health of ecosystems. Is their sample site a thriving community or a bit lopsided? The data doesn't lie!
