Teddy Graham Day





It's Teddy Graham day in 8th grade biology. During this class we use teddy grahams and a story about the land of Teddy Grahams and the swamp thing. You see the swamp thing can only see bears that have their hands up! Each year He can only eat 8 bears and each year each pair of bears can only have 1 baby bear (mating is completely random).

We begin the population with one hands down bear and 23 hands up bears. From generation to generation we see the population begin to change and the number of hands up bears decreases and the number of hands down bears increases until there are no more hands up bears for the swamp thing to eat.

This is one of the kids favorite activities to do every year. At the end they get to eat all the bears they want..YUM!
