Initial Fish Population: Enter the starting number of fish in the provided box.
Food Availability (1 to 10): Set the availability of food on a scale of 1 to 10.
Number of Predators: Enter the number of predators in the ecosystem.
Pollution Level (1 to 10): Set the pollution level on a scale of 1 to 10.
Temperature (degrees Celsius): Enter the water temperature in degrees Celsius.
Run the Simulation:
Click the “Progress Time” button to advance the simulation and observe changes in the fish population.
Reset the Simulation:
Click the “Reset Simulation” button to start over with new initial conditions.
Observe and Analyze:
Monitor how changes in food availability, number of predators, pollution level, and temperature affect the fish population.
This interactive is a simplified simulation designed to help students learn and practice collecting and analyzing data. While there are many factors that affect fish populations in the real world, this simulation focuses on a few key variables to provide a clear and manageable learning experience.
