Energy Flow in an Ecosystem - FlinnEverydayScience™

Product Details

Students observe various organisms in their assigned habitat (either Desert, Hardwood Forest, Marine, Rainforest, or Swamp) and select the appropriate organisms to produce a food chain, representing the flow of energy in their habitat. They will then work with their group to combine their food chains to create a food web that more accurately represents the flow of energy in their assigned habitat. They will learn about various trophic levels and how some organisms (such as omnivores) can be in two trophic levels at the same time.

Includes access to pre-lab videos, editable lab instructions, downloadable student handouts, detailed background information, safety information, teacher notes with answers to all questions and sample data, and teaching and lab tips.
