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 rain would increase and decrease

2. How did the survival rate of Sonoran fawns change over time?

The population was growing and decreasing at the same time

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

The amount of water that falls depends the growth of the fawns.

4. What effect could these changes have on the Sonoran pronghorn population (recall that fawns are baby
pronghorn)?
They would not survive to the amount of water

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

Name two biotic factors:

The dryness of the dirt or floods

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

Name two abiotic factors:

Floods, muddiness

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

There going to be haunted by other animals.
