Use the image on the board to answer the following questions.
1. In YOUR own words, describe competition.
2.
What drives animals and organisms to compete (there are 4…)
3.
As seen in the instagram, humans compete for resources too. Write a 2-4 sentence response to the type of
competition occurring in Kenya. How does it make you feel knowing that people are dying over competition of
resources we take advantage of, like land and food?
