Keep in mind...
- The simulation is preset with some wolves and elk. Watch it by clicking on
. You can stop the simulation by clicking on
. What eventually happens if you let the simulation run for a long time?
- You can reset the simulation to the original number of animals by clicking on
.
- When the simulation is stopped, you can add animals by clicking on the
on the left-hand side of the simulation, clicking on the picture of the animal you want above the simulation, and then clicking in the simulation where you want to place the animal. You can remove animals by first clicking on
and then clicking on the animal you want to remove.
- Now it's your turn: try out the simulation with different numbers of animals. What happens if there is a large number of wolves and a small number of elk? What happens if there is a large number of elk and a small number wolves? What happens if there is a large number of both, or a small number of both? Feel free to experiment as much as you want.
