Use the "duration" slider in this model. Conduct your investigation by looking at duration of the disease for 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 45 days.

Look at the graph on the side, in Question 1 record your observations of the graph for each level.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Add your observations from the graph for each duration level here.

 

At which duration of the disease do the population of organisms stay the healthiest?
