Report
Barnacle Competition Simulation Template Pre-lab Reflection 1. Either from your personal experience, or by watching the video, write a brief summary that includes the following regarding intertidal zones: a. What observations have you made? b. What impressions do you have about those regions? c. How would you describe that ecosystem? d. What types of organisms have you seen there? 2. This simulation will be looking at the competitive interaction between two species of barnacles. Before completing this simulation, what is your prior knowledge about barnacles? Brainstorm anything you already know about barnacles. Procedure Simulation Experiment 1 Simulation Control Group S ettings D ata S ea Level T ide Change B alanus C hthamalus T hais density 1. After “15 days” record your observations . Include the data in the table below. Measurements Balanus Chthamalus Mean Elevation of Rock Std Deviation of Rock Day of Experiment You may include a screenshot of the paused simulation, but it is not required. 2. Interpretation: State if you think you saw resource partitioning or competitive exclusion between the two barnacle species. Explain, using your data to justify. Experiment 2: Design your own experiment
