Goldfish Lab
Conclusion Questions:
How many people are fishing now? 7 people are now fishing when another group comes to fish with us.
What effect does the increase in people fishing have on the number of fish caught and left in the bowl? The people kill the fish faster because there are more people trying to catch all the fish.
Why did we replace some fish in the bowl at a time? We replaced the fish because we wanted to fish to reproduce and grow the fish population so we can continue to fish.
Why couldn't you have more than 16 fish at one time? You can't have more than 16 fish in one pond because that is over the pond's capacity. When the fish go over the pond's capacity, there is not enough resources to support all of the fish.
What happens if the group took many fish out of the ocean in 1 season? The fish population will decrease because the fish wouldn't be able to reproduce.
How does this simulation resemble what could happen to the real ocean? It could happen in the real ocean because many people over fish and it can hurt that fish's population in that certain area.
