Challenge Team Abstract

Team Number: 059 School Name: Piedra Vista High School Area of Science: Zoology Project Title: Leaf eating ants - R - Us

In our project we will mathematically demonstrate, and graphically represent an ant colony, and the effects that different conditions have on the colony. The colony will be in a controlled environment in which the user may specify given conditions. The conditions will range from climate to predators, and so on.

Using basic math and the C++ programming language we will simulate the activity of the colony based on the situation and environment.
