Turtles
The place where you select a simulation to work with
Library
From the Command Center, what would you choose from the drop menu to work with turtles?

Can procedures be changed after they have been written?
Yes
In an ecosystem, what are some turtle variables? Name 3
move, eat, reproduce, die
