Food Chain is suitable for use with students ranging from Middle School through High School and Introductory College Biology/ Environmental Science courses.
Students will build a deep understanding of how food chains work by conducting computer simulation-based experiments in a virtual lake ecosystem. They'll design the experiments by choosing the plant and animal species they wish to include and/or by adjusting various ecosystem parameters. Students will then test their hypotheses through simulation and explain their results. In the process, they'll develop a thorough understanding of the dynamics of trophic level interdependencies, while honing their skills in applying the scientific method.
The Learning Lab also contains an optional section called Generalizing. In this section, students will re-discover the key concepts they encountered in Food Chain in contexts more directly related to their everyday lives.
