Survival or Extinction: A Virtual Simulation
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Georgetown, ON | | School: | Centennial P.S. | | Abstract: | The project studied the influence of 32 factors on the survival chance of animal species. A virtual simulator was built including all those factors and positively tested against real life population data. Simulator studies identified the presence of major and minor factors contributing to the survival chance of animal species, which is therefore not only based on random events (chaos). |
