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

Carbon Tradeoff Simulation Game
Students explore the dynamic components of the carbon cycle. The game is played using an exchange of task cards related to the roles of producers, consumers, decomposers, and the processes that simulate carbon exchange. Human impact through the combustion of fossil fuels and release of CO2 into the air supply is factored into the higher levels of play. The Carbon Tradeoff game is leveled to guide students to explore and question how different conditions and actions impact the carbon cycle. Ea

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
