Every population has a limit.

This rule is saying that no population can ever grow to infinite because they the will eventually run out of space, time, and resources. Populations can also go extinct form predators eating them or their babies. In science we did a simulation called shark tank and in the simulation we went to the park near are school. 15 kids were seaweed, 4 were minnows, and 1 kid got to be the shark. The shark had to eat 2 minnows to survive and 4 minnows to reproduce. The minnows had to eat 1 seaweed to survive and 2 to reproduce and the seaweed just needed to stay alive and they reproduce. This relates to the rule because if one population eats too many of the other populations all of them will go extinct.
