Be sure to type the names of the two organisms in the appropriate boxes.
Each bean color represents a type of food source. You MUST have 20 of each color! You will set your timer for 1 minute.
1 minute represents the length of the season
During the 1 minute season, you will use your tool (representing your first organism) to pick up as many beans as possible.
At the end of the season, sort your beans and type the number of the bean color in the appropriate box for that season. For example, during Season 1, organism 1 was able to gather 3 black beans, 4, pink beans, and 5 white beans.
Repeat this process for the second organism for Season 1; and then start over and repeat the process again for both organisms for Season 2.
At the end of 4 minutes you should have all 6 boxes filled out, in addition to the names of your two organisms.

Materials List: What material did you use? Beans? What did you use to represent your ecosystem?
Yes, beans were used as the food source in the ecosystem. The tool used to pick up the beans was not specified in the prompt, so you can choose any tool that you feel would be appropriate for picking up beans.
Which type of data have you collected (discrete or continuous)?
Discrete data: data that can be put into categories
Continuous data: data set in which every point on the line is meaningful

How do you know?
Based on the information provided, we can determine the type of data collected by considering the nature of the values recorded. In this case, the number of beans collected for each color represents a count or quantity of beans, which can be categorized into specific categories. Therefore, the data collected is discrete data since it falls into distinct categories of bean colors.
Be sure to type the names of the two organisms in the appropriate boxes.
