Description
Class Experience
How do animals get the energy they need to survive? Let’s find out! In this one-time food class about food chains and food webs, we will learn how energy moves through an ecosystem. We will discuss the trophic levels that make up basic food chains and how food chains frequently overlap within an ecosystem. We will explore the roles of herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores and hypothesize about what would happen to an ecosystem if a food chain changed. How would the ecosystem as a whole be...
Learners will understand what trophic levels are and how they compose a food chain. Learners will become familiar with food webs and how they more accurately describe how energy moves throughout an environment. Learners will be able to explain how energy and nutrients re-enters the environment.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
