Food Web Balance

Energy flows from food to eater, so changing one population can send rises, falls, booms, and crashes through several links of a food web.

What your child will figure out

  • Build energy arrows from food to eater across producer, consumer, and predator links.
  • Predict, observe, and explain a prey boom followed by food-driven strain after predator loss.
  • Trace producer loss through direct and indirect consumers.
  • Transfer cascade reasoning to an unfamiliar ocean web and generated adaptive ecosystems.

The levels

  1. Follow the energy

    Build grass-to-rabbit and rabbit-to-fox arrows in the correct direction.

  2. The fox vanishes

    Predict and observe the boom-then-crash cascade after predator loss.

  3. Energy cut-off

    Predict how producer loss collapses populations farther up the chain.

  4. Ocean rescue

    Transfer multi-link cascade reasoning to a five-species ocean web.

Ready when they are.
