1. Open Simulation Link and Fill-in your assignment template accordingly
2. Now that you have the simulation open fill-in (Part 2: simulation parameters table) these can be to your liking
   1. Forest size
   2. Speed (1-9) This simulation doesn’t give you an actual number but the speed button has 9 options 1 is the lowest and 9 is the highest try your best to fill-in the speed accordingly
   3. Forest Border
3. Click on View/Modify Parameters at the bottom of the graph
   1. Here you have to option to create your own parameters for rabbits and wolves to your liking. However, you only need to record the 3rd box (startup parameters) in your assignment template
   2. Fill-in (Part 3: the Modified Startup simulation parameters)
      1. Initial # of Rabbits
      2. Initial # of Wolves
      3. Initial Rabbit Food Level
      4. Initial Wolves Food Level
4. Based on the settings you have chosen you will (Develop a Hypothesis based on your simulation settings and add this on Part 4 of your assignment template)
5. Click on Start Simulation and observe for about 20-30 seconds before pausing to record the data
6. Once the simulation is paused click on View cumulative statistic at the bottom right of the graph
   1. Fill-in Part 5: for the simulation table (Rabbit vs Wolves)
      1. Stage # of Simulation
      2. # Rabbits Living
      3. # Rabbits Dead
      4. # Rabbits Born
      5. # Wolves Living
      6. # Wolves Dead
      7. # Wolves Born
7. While the simulation is still paused click on View population graph at the bottom left of the graph
   1. Fill-in Part 6: Add the display image of the Population Graph below for each run. You will also add a short paragraph about what is happening in each graph and if your hypothesis was correct
8. You will record the results for the simulation 3 times and you will add this information to the template assignment. Please be sure you record all the information above for each run. Feel free to test the extremes of this simulation because you might be shocked to discover the outcome.
