Simulated predator-prey activity. The three “environments” are shown below.
The prey were four different types of beans (split pea, navy, red kidney and lentil). One student was the game warden and distributed the prey in the environment. Others in the group were predators. Seventy five percent of the population was hunted and then each surviving bean produced three new offspring. A second generation of 100 beans was placed in the environment and 75% hunted again. Graphs to follow! Will be interesting to see the differences in the environments.
