Predation Lab

In the predation lab, my partner and I simulated the relationship between predators and prey in an ecosystem. To do this, we took 3 white squares, which represents the prey, and put them on a sheet of paper, which represents their ecosystem. We then took 1 larger pink square, that represented the predators, and let it fall onto the white squares. For the predators to be able to survive in the ecosystem, the pink square had to land on at least 3 white squares, and it also needed to land on 6 squares to reproduce one time. The prey always doubled in size after the pink squares landed. The independent variable was the continuation of the generations, while the dependent variable was the number of lost lives in that sequence. As the experiment
