Survival Lab

OVERVIEW

Predator - An organism (animal) that lives by preying on other organisms (animals). Examples include: lions, eagles, snakes.

Prey - An organism (animal) seized by another for food. Examples include: rabbits, mice, gazelles.

Protective coloration - an adaptation where color matching is used to blend into the background. Examples include : polar bear, lion, rabbit.

Camouflage an adaptation that uses two or more colors to create a matching pattern that visually breaks up the outline of an organism so it blends into its surroundings. Examples include: zebras, tigers, giraffe.

In this activity you will be the predator. You will hunt different type of prey in different surroundings.

The prey will be considered ‘killed’ if it is counted by the predator.

Each ‘hunting field’ will be different and the prey will be distributed in different locations for each hunt.

You will ‘hunt’ the same prey on the same background 3 different times.

For each hunt, you will record the number of prey killed in your data chart. Each hunt will have between 15 and 30 prey.

Data Chart

The prey will use either protective coloration or camouflage or neither to protect itself from the predator.

You will only have 5 seconds for each hunt. DO NOT RETURN TO THE HUNT AFTER THE SCREEN HAS CHANGED!

PREPARE TO HUNT The next screen will by your first hunting situation. As soon as you press the ENTER key you will begin hunting. You will only have 5 seconds to hunt. Situation 1 - Trial 1 Hunt for *

You have completed the data collection part of this lab.

Calculate the total and average columns.

On the back of the handout, graph the averages using the proper type of graph.

Conclusions Answer the following questions on the back of your handout. 1.What were the easiest “animals” to hunt? –Why? 2.Did you get better with additional trials? –Why? 3.Which situation was the most difficult for you? –Why? 4.What did you have to do as a “predator” to adapt? –Why did you make that change? 5.What did the prey do to adapt? –Why was this successful? 6.What did you learn in this lab about predators and prey? Survival Lab is due on today at the end of class.
