Today we simulated a marine biologist and used sampling to determine how many fish were in a lake. We used goldfish in a paper bag and tagged fish by trading in colored goldfish. Then each pair of students used a "net" to capture fish and counted the tagged number of fish and the total number in the catch and recorded their results. In the end we used proportions to determine how many fish were in our lakes. See notes from the lesson here.
