Food Chain Game- Food chains, Food webs, Ecosystems, outdoors
This is one of the favorites of the year for my class. We go outside and play a sophisticated game of tag. Students are assigned different goals based on these instructions. As a teacher you can simulate different conditions by changing how many students are playing which role. For example, to simulate a forest fire have only a few plants left and see what happens to the ecosystem. To simulate overhunting we have too few wolves and too many deer. Give this a try it is a lot of fun!

Online Scavenger Hunt: Smithsonian Museum
This is a super fun and easy activity for students of a wide variety of ages! Many students won’t have the opportunity to go in person to this museum, so using their online tour system is a great way to engage students in ‘real-world’ science. It is centered in some basic science knowledge of the classification of living things, but other than that is very accessible to most grades. It is a great independent or group task, so can be used for: - An extension activity for quick-working students -

Brief: In this Next Generation Science Standards Aligned lab, students write rules for a game that simulates how a food chain works. They play two games: In Game 1, they play their first iteration of rules, taking 12 rounds of population data, and graphing the data. In Game 2, students play revised rules; tweaking their original set of rules to make the game a better model for a real ecosystem. They, again, graph their data, and analyze the results by answering conclusion questions. This ac
