One of my favorite experiments/activities we did in class was when we all acted as animals hunting for prey! In this activity, we went outside and lined up, then Mrs. Gavin threw different colored toothpicks all over the grass, then we all had to do the best we could to gather the toothpicks in a certain amount of time! Some of the colored toothpicks were harder to find then others. This is because they camouflaged with the grass. For example, the green ones were harder to find since they blended in with the grass!
This activity showed predator-prey relationships because we had to each gather our own food while Mrs. Gavin or a different volunteer would act as a predator and try to chase us away from the toothpicks while we were trying to gather our food. This activity also exampled competition. This is because we all had to do our best to collect as many toothpicks as we could to "survive." People were running as fast as they could to gather as many toothpicks as they could before other people took them. I am a very competitive person so i really enjoyed this activity!
(I received my facts and information from my ISN and handouts that SunnyD had given me during class.)
