5. Was anything left for the fourth
generation?
6. Did any of the kids that were part of the
demonstration think about those who might be after them, or were they only
trying to get as much popcorn as they could?
7. What other resources could this happen to
in the real world?
8. If a resource is RENEWABLE, does that mean
it will continue to exist no matter what people do?
9. What two factors would you say are most
important in determining how fast natural resources are used? (Think in this
demo- how many people use the resource and the amount each person yeses is
important in thinking about how fast resources are used up!)
10. You have 15 dollars to buy 15 pieces of
popcorn. What if there were only 10 pieces of popcorn left, but you needed 15
to survive? What would happen?
