Food Web Simulation Activity| Ecosystem Disruptions| Energy Flow & Interactions
Bring ecosystems to life with this hands-on, interactive food web activity! Students build their own food web using species cards, then test how environmental changes impact ecosystem stability through a dynamic simulation. In this activity, students don’t just learn about food webs — they experience how ecosystems respond to disruption. By applying real-world scenarios like disease, habitat loss, and invasive species, students analyze how changes ripple through an interconnected system. What St

The Virtual Biodiversity Game
Students can use this Google form to make choices that determine how many species survive or go extinct in their ecosystem. Through 5 rounds, students are exposed to concepts such as biodiversity, biomes, climate, niches, pollution, and human impact. Students make choices and can see the impact it has on biodiversity (the number of species) This interactive activity is a great introduction to biodiversity. It is a great tool to get students thinking about what contributes to increased or decreas

Frogs in a Pond Ecosystem Simulation
Students are assigned a starting population of frogs from one of 11 different ponds in the Central Florida area. They track the health of their population over a 10-year simulated timespan (10 rolls of the dice). Each time they roll, something happens to their frogs that year that impacts the population. Sometimes an alligator moves into their pond and starts eating frogs. Sometimes a hurricane hits increasing the size of their pond and the number of insects their frogs eat (resulting in a p
