Summary:Explore population growth and decay in a simulation of a fishpond using M&Ms
Description:"The important components of Earth Day are that we make a big impact on this planet and that we are not alone. Plants, mammals, birds, fish, and insects all contribute to the existence of life on Earth. Using mathematics and mathematical models, we can build and refine models to help us predict how the size of a population will change over time. Mathematical models don't produce an exact answer, but they can help us understand either the patterns or the trends that exist. You will use M&M's to simulate and model the population decay and growth in a fish pond."
