2. Lunch?  What do you like to eat for lunch?  How far did you have to travel to get your lunch?

3. Penguins Lunch?  What do penguins eat for lunch?  How far do penguins have to travel to get their lunch?

5. Adélie Penguin Simulation  Only one goes at a time, other stays back to care for/protect chick.  Objective = to collect as many krill (beads) as possible for chick.  Two rounds total. Each round = 1 minute long.  Plastic bag = stomach to fill.  Collect krill using hand not holding plastic bag (your beak).  Collect one krill from a bucket at a time.  Need to change buckets before collecting next krill. But following krill can be from original bucket.  Can stand and lean over bucket (no kneeling or sitting).  Cannot pick krill off of floor.

8. Adélie Penguin Simulation Results  Which color of beads was there more of in each round?  Did the difference between red and white beads change across the rounds (over time)?  Which colors did you pick up more of during the game? Why?
