Deer Me Follow up questions:
(everyone should have their own Data, Graph AND answers to these questions, in your own words).
1. Graph your results. Include axis labels and a key.
2. Summarize your deer/wolf predator/prey interactions in a sentence or two.
Example: The deer and wolves reached an equilibrium- as the number of deer went up, so did the wolves, but then when the wolves reached a big enough number, the deer started to go down. Then the number of wolves went down, and once the wolf numbers were low enough, the deer population rebounded.
3. What factors could you change that would affect this model? What effect do you predict they would have. Give 3.
Example: if wolves had only had to catch one deer to survive, the deer population would have been kept at much lower numbers.
4. What equation do you think best fits the graph you have drawn. Write it below. (HINT: this is kind of a trick question- but- if there's even part of your graph that fits some math you've learned, please write about it).
5. If I were to use this simulation game again with next year's Biology Students, what would make it go better?
