Shark Tank!

Howdy People! In Science this month we have been doing a simulation using Sharks, Minnows and Seaweed. Here is a graph that represents how it went:

 

Let me set up the game for you.

Sharks can run around and eat the minnows. But for the shark(s) to survive they have to eat two minnows. If a shark wants to reproduce, they have to eat the two they need to survive and at least one more to reproduce

Minnows can only fast walk to seaweed and for them to survive, they have to eat at least one seaweed. For minnows to reproduce, they have to eat the one seaweed they need to survive and then at least one more seaweed to reproduce.

Seaweed is anchored to the ocean floor and they can not move. They do not have to eat anything to survive, because they are there only to help the minnows survive. But, at the end of every round, the population of the seaweed that was left standing is doubled, because seaweed can only reproduce once.

If you take the rules I just put out into account, you will be able to imagine how the game went.

Bye, Bye for now!
