24 questions
1) One student will go to the hallway and wait (this student is the preditor.

2) All other students will create "prey" to hide around the room.
Rules for Students Creating Prey:
- You can not put your "prey" under any items, or in places out of reach (ceiling)
- It needs to be on the top layer of whatever you are putting it on (You can not put your "prey" under anything/make it completely hidden.)

3) Once all prey are created and placed around the room the predator can come into the room.

4) Start the timer below and let the predator can start collecting as many prey as possible.

5) After the timer goes off count the prey collected. For every 5 prey collected you get an extra preditor for the next round.
*For example, if 4 prey are collected then there is only 1 predator for the next round. If 5-9 are collected then there are 2 predators next round. If 10-14 are collected there are 3 predators next round.

6) Repeat this as many times as you wish.
*If you want to do this for multiple days so you can get more prey in the room that is fine.

7) Be sure to fill out the lab report as you go.
*Add in rows if your class completes mor rounds than 10
* If you do not complete 10 rounds put an X in the rounds you did not do.
