• Flocking:
– Allows birds to take advantage of abundant
food sources.
• A few birds will find the food and the rest take
advantage.
– Increases safety / protection
– Attract a mate
– Raising a family is safer
– Aerodynamics in flying / migrating
– Warmth from your neighbors

• Schooling
– Schools protect fish from enemies because there
is always safety in numbers. Predators find it
easier to chase down a fish when it is all alone,
than trying to single out a fish from a huge group.

– Same as first, but this time with predators.
– You still need 30 energy units.
– You are safe from predators if you are
touching Hula-Hoop.
– Predators can only walk (no running), only tag
someone out if they deliberately don’t stop
feeding and run away when you are standing
over them making hawk noises.

• Activity! Predator Prey Cycle
– Have many (300+ per table group) normal note cards
(rabbits) (colored if possible)
– Have jumbo note cards (different color represent coyotes)
– Spread 20 rabbits all over large lab table so no two rabbits
are touching but they are all close.
– Toss 5 coyote cards onto large lab table to get the most
rabbits that you can from a short distance.
– If coyote card touches a rabbit then the rabbit is eaten and
removed. The coyote reproduces, pick up cards and double
them. If coyote misses – It’s dead and removed. Record
new number after doubling each round
– All the surviving rabbits reproduce as well and then spread
onto the table.
– Repeat rounds, record statistics on spreadsheet.

• Please make some inferences about this
graph.
– Why do the populations rise and fall as they do?
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! As prey rise,
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! As prey rise, predator rise just behind
them.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! As prey rise, predator rise just behind
them. As they rise they overpopulate and many
prey get eaten.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! As prey rise, predator rise just behind
them. As they rise they overpopulate and many
prey get eaten. The predators then die until the
prey repopulate.

The coyote reproduces, pick up cards and double them. If coyote misses – It’s dead and removed. Record new number after doubling each round – All the surviving rabbits reproduce as well and then spread onto the table. – Repeat rounds, record statistics on spreadsheet. – Visual of activity on the next series of slides.
