Lesson 4: Double Trouble

After displaying your great talent, your boss has asked you to not only manage one port, but two. You have to use the skills you have learned to secure both of the ports. Try to have the lowest security and annoyance level for both of the ports. Good luck!

Doing the science

6. Click on "Switch" at any time to switch between the ports.
7. After you switch to the second port, the security guard will be on the upper right boardwalk. Click and drag the security guard to the desired location.
8. After you are satisfied with the guards’ positions, click on "Run" to view the security and annoyance levels. Click on "Personal Craft", "Cargo Ships", "Cruise Ships", and "Overall" to view the security and annoyance level for each category. Record these levels into Table 1 below.
