Spring Into Science: Exploring Ecosystems - Food Web

Description

Unlock the Secrets of Spring Ecosystems! Get your students thinking like ecologists with this engaging, NGSS-aligned food web construction activity. Students will explore the complex interactions between spring species — from predators to pollinators — and discover how energy flows through ecosystems. They'll create and analyze their own spring food web, identify trophic levels, and predict how environmental changes could disrupt the balance. Perfect for grades 9–12, this hands-on activity combines creativity with critical thinking to deepen understanding of ecological relationships!

Key Features:
NGSS-Aligned (HS-LS2)
Interactive food web construction
Analysis of trophic levels and species interactions
Real-world impact of environmental changes on ecosystems
Ideal for biology, environmental science, and ecology units

NGSSHS-LS2-3

Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding of the role of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in different environments. Assessment does not include the specific chemical processes of either aerobic or anaerobic respiration.

NGSSHS-LS2-4

Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. Emphasis is on using a mathematical model of stored energy in biomass to describe the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another and that matter and energy are conserved as matter cycles and energy flows through ecosystems. Emphasis is on atoms and molecules such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen being conserved as they move through an ecosystem. Assessment is limited to proportional reasoning to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy.

NGSSHS-LS2-6

Evaluate claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem. Examples of changes in ecosystem conditions could include modest biological or physical changes, such as moderate hunting or a seasonal flood; and, extreme changes, such as volcanic eruption or sea level rise.
