Science Lab Response
Today in Science Lab, we learned about how pollution affects a species over time. So as an example, we used plastic teddy bears, some red and some blue. The red ones represent the alive bears, and the blue represent the pollutants. We put ten red bears in the bucket and two pollutants. Our group randomly paired up the bears and we saw what he pairs were. If you had two reds in a pair, they were alive. If you had two blue bears, the next round you had to add another pollutant in the next round. But if you have one of each, the red bear you have dies. IN the first generation, not many died because there werent many pollutants., but in the next few generations, you have to start out with more pollutants representing that pollution grows each couple of years. In conclusion, I learned that if our world doesn't stop the pollution from being so exposed to the wild, many animals could go extinct like they did in our game.
