Hamilton’s Teen+Science+Cafe

This Friday I participated in a teen science cafe. We learned about all different types of predators even did this fun activity called predator bingo, where when he said a certain phrase you put a chip down if you had it on your board and you did that until you had bingo. He also talked about how he did research in the Antarctic about was a certain part of stable enough to maintain a fishery. He checked to see what would be the best amount of fish the place could support and also looked at the sustainable yield of that place which is a lot like what we’ve been doing in class. Looking at the population dynamics of certain fish species and whether or not their habitats have enough resources to sustain them. If they put a fishery there and it wasn’t the right place it could mess up the whole food web and population dynamic of the area.
