Description
Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach the concepts of Bioaccumulation and Biomagnification? Through this interactive resource, students model the processes of bioaccumulation & biomagnification through a marine food chain. This low-prep class simulation helps students understand the impacts of bioaccumulation and apply their knowledge to real-world issues. Using Hershey Kisses, students collect and analyze class data and create graphs to display their results.
This resource is divided into 2 parts and can be used in succession or as individual activities. A detailed Teacher Guide is provided and walks you through how these activities can be used to make Bioaccumulation exciting in the classroom!
Part 1: Bioaccumulation & Biomagnification Simulation
Students actively take part in a bioaccumulation simulation. Students are assigned roles as organisms in the food chain and are asked to trace the level of contaminants through the ecosystem. The student worksheet asks students to collect and analyze data and create a graph from their data. An answer key for the worksheet is provided.
Part 2: Action Plan! What can we do?
Part 2 of this resource focuses on how we can make a difference in allowing toxic chemicals to enter the environment. In pairs or small groups, students investigate ways in which we can stop or prevent bioaccumulation. Students then create a digital infographic displaying their findings and share the ideas with the class.
I hope you enjoy this fun product!
