This text explains how the application "EcoBuilder" works. After reading, answer the multiple-choice questions to show how well you understand the simulation rules and the science behind them.
Welcome to "EcoBuilder"! This app was created by scientists from New York, Paris, and London. They all worked together at a university in London. It is a special program where you can build your own world on a new planet. In this world, you decide which plants and animals live together. Your main goal is to create a strong and healthy world. A strong world means that all plants and animals can live for a long time without problems.
When you begin, you need to think about the food web. A food web shows how energy moves from one plant or animal to another. It explains who eats what and how everything is connected. In "EcoBuilder", you must start by placing plants in your world. Plants are very important because they make their own food using light from the sun. You must not forget to put plants in the right place. You must not choose a place where plants cannot grow well. If your plants die, animals will not have food, and your world will slowly stop working.
After that, you can start adding animals. The app uses real science rules to decide if an animal can live in your world. Every animal has a body size and needs a certain amount of food every day. You must be careful. You must not add too many large animals in a small area. You must not forget that big animals need more food. If there are too many, they will eat all the plants too quickly. When animals cannot find enough food, they become weak and may leave your world.
You also need to include animals that eat other animals. These animals are important because they help keep everything under control in your world. You must not forget to add these animals. If you do not have them, small animals can grow in number very fast and eat all the plants. However, you must choose these animals carefully. You must not pick an animal that is too small or too weak to catch its food. The app checks the size and strength of animals to decide if one animal can catch another.
Finally, you should always check your success score. This score shows how healthy your world is. The app saves your work by itself, which is helpful. However, you must not close the program during a “Big Event,” such as when many animals are dying at the same time. You must not leave the program too early. You should wait until everything is safe again. If you follow these rules and think carefully, you can build a strong and successful world!
