18. Let’s go fishing!!!! Part I: Divide yourselves into groups of four.
Imagine this scenario. Each one of you represents the head of a family that is starving. The only food source for these four families is a small fishing hole which is covered. In this simulation, the common pond is a large paper plate, your fishing pole is a straw, and the food source is given to you by the teacher. You must fish by sucking up the “fish” from the “lake” with straws.
You will get a chance to fish once a year (which last one minute) and each time you fish you may take 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 fish from the lake. You should rotate your fishing order every year so that everyone has a chance to go first. It is your choice of how many fish you take, however, if you only take one fish, your family will starve. If you take more than 2 fish, you can sell them for profit.
The fish in your lake will reproduce once a year. [ See your teacher at the end of each year- each remaining fish is able to spontaneously reproduce and make one new fish (4 fish become 8, i.e., to a maximum of 16)] The simulation will continue for several rounds. When your group runs out of fish, the game is over for you.
