(2/25): Things got wild in 6th Grade Science during our introduction to ecology with the classic “Oh Deer!” activity!
Half the class became deer, and the other half became basic needs—food, water, or shelter. Without tipping anyone off, both sides secretly chose their signs. When the teacher yelled “GO!” it was an all-out scramble to match up.
If a deer didn’t find what it needed… well… nature took its course. 💀 But don’t worry—they became compost and re-entered the ecosystem as a need for the next “year.”
After several fast-paced rounds, students graphed the dramatic ups and downs of the deer population. Let’s just say—there were population booms, busts, and a lot of very competitive wildlife.
Ecology has never been so energetic!
