3. Now look at the position of the continents and consider the probable climate conditions for those continents. Also consider your animal. Now, which population(s) is/are most likely to survive (i.e., on which continents)? Why? 4. Now look at the position of the continents and consider the probable climate conditions for those continents. Also consider your animal. Now, which population(s) is/are most likely to become extinct (i.e., on which continents)? Why? 5. Are the answers different between 1/3 and 4/5? Why or why not? Did anything change from Part 1, i.e., did the population size change have an impact? Part 4. More population growth. Now, the populations on each continent will enter a period of growth. Step 1. Roll the 8 sided dice to get the continent. Step 2. Roll the six sided dice to determine by how much the population will grow for the continent you rolled. Each number of on the six sided dice is equal to 100 organisms (i.e., 1 = 100, 2 = 200, etc.). Place one plastic animal per one-hundred organisms on the continent. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until you have grown the population for each continent. Step 3.
