Food Web Simulation: Exploring Ecosystem Connections 🌿🦌🦅

Bring ecology to life with this immersive Food Web Simulation! Students step into the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers as they explore predator-prey relationships, energy flow, and the delicate balance of ecosystems. Through interactive role-play and hands-on modeling, learners gain a deeper understanding of how organisms depend on one another and what happens when ecosystems are disrupted. Perfect for upper elementary and middle school classrooms, this simulation makes life science both memorable and meaningful.

What’s Inside:

• Complete lesson + simulation guide aligned with life science standards
• Role cards for producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers
• Interactive activities modeling energy flow and ecosystem balance
• Scenarios exploring the impact of removing or adding species
• Reflection prompts to connect classroom learning to real-world ecology

Why It Helps:

• Builds critical thinking by analyzing complex ecological interactions
• Encourages teamwork and collaboration through role-play activities
• Makes abstract science concepts concrete and easy to visualize
• Challenges gifted learners to predict outcomes and design solutions for ecosystem disruptions

How to Use It:

• As a life science unit anchor activity or lab
• During ecology lessons to reinforce food chain and food web concepts
• In enrichment programs, science clubs, or environmental awareness projects
• As an engaging review tool before assessments
