Activity 1.4: Graphing Rainfall and Fawn Survival

Directions: Use the provided data table below to construct a graph that illustrates the effects rainfall has on
the amount of fawn that are able to survive.

Year Rainfall Fawns surviving to


(cm) December (fawns per 100
females)
1995 11 12
1996 3 0
1997 4 0
1998 19 32
1999 6 0
2000 5 15
2001 15 78
2002 2 9

-Complete and label the scale on the x-axis


-Complete and label the scale on the y-axis
-Title your graph and create a key
-Draw a bar graph for the rainfall data
-Draw a line graph for the fawn data
Questions:

1. How did the amount of rain change over time?


The amount of rain changes over time by increasing and decreasing.

2. How did the survival rate of Sonoran fawns change over time?
The survival rate of the Sonoran fawns changed over time by increasing and decreasing and repeating again.

3. What is the relationship between rainfall and fawn survival?


The relationship the fawn and the rainfall have is when rainfall decreases the fawn surviving also decreases. If
the rainfall increases the fawn surviving also decreases.

4. What effect could these changes have on the Sonoran pronghorn population (recall that fawns are baby
pronghorn)?

The effect these changes have on the Sonoran pronghorn population is that they increase.

5. What other biotic and abiotic factors could be affecting the survival rate of the fawns?

Name two biotic factors: Wolves and Grass

Explain how these two biotic factors influence the survival rate of the fawns.

Name two abiotic factors: Rainfall and Snowfall

Explain how these two biotic factors influence the survival rate of the fawns.
The wolves influence the survival rate of the fawns by killing them which the survival rate decreases but
the grass also influence the survival rate of the fawns because they eat the grass and survival by not the
starving of death.
