This week in Science: Carrying Capacity

This week in science we learned about carrying capacity. By using examples such as deer, how they reproduce, and where they live we created a game. The game's focus was to show how the environment depended on deer. It also works vice versa because the deer depend on the environment. We then took tallys and put it into a graph. We also played another game where we organized environments and the animals that live there.

We learned about predator/prey relationship. We also learned about mutualism. We watched videos of how all of this works. We learned about carry capacity too. The it works is that, if an animal reproduces too much, then there may not be enough resources to do around. Or, if the certain resource that an animal needs isn't available, then the animal that needed that resource dies.
