Super ezy 2 do guys
What you need
- even amount of green and red toothpicks (i like doing 20 red and 20 green)
- Timer
- A grassy area
Method:
- Grab toothpicks,
- Throw toothpicks (into Grass)
- Retrieve said toothpicks, (as many as you can) within 30 seconds
- Record Results
5. Repeat steps 2-4 at least 2 more times
Explanation for da plebs:
So, you the person who picks up the toothpicks acts as the predator in the natural environment. Where the red and green toothpicks are different types of the same organisms.
As a predator, you would naturally see the red over the green and as such pick out the red toothpicks more often.
This demonstrates natural selection, and how green organism has an adaptive/advantageous trait over the red one.
For those who were wondering!!!
to simulate repopulation of the species, bring along a dozen or so extra red and green toothpicks. After counting how many toothpicks have been retrieved, calculate how many remaining of that colour are left.
Add 50% of that number of toothpicks into the sample space (to simulate reproduction), then carry out with steps 2-4 again.
