Garbanzo: large round: survives knife, not fork.
Lentil: small flat: survives fork, not knife.
- Work in groups of 4.
- Count out 50 each of the beans (garbanzo, lentil, pinto are variations of Beanus beanus); K=150.
- Students with knife, fork, or spoon are predators Flatwarus flatwarus.
- 4th student timekeeper. All 3 of team should use same tool.
- At signal, predator uses tool to pick prey into cup. DO NOT set cup on side.
- 45 seconds.
- Count survival prey of each variant; reproduce by * 2. Record on Table 1.
- Next generation should start with ~150 total.
- 5 more generations.
- 2nd experiment with a different tool.
- Graph survivors through 6 trials for each simulation.
