Description

Step into a world where everything is alive. You’re a glowing orb with the power to spark life. Wake up animals, trigger food chains, and fix broken ecosystems. Watch creatures move, hunt, and grow as you restore energy. Keep the loop alive — the whole world is counting on you.

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Food Webs in an Ecosystem. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Tertiary consumers are usually at the top of the food chain and consume secondary and primary consumers.

Primary consumers eat plants and are known are herbivores.

Food webs can show the flow of energy through a terrestrial ecosystem.

Food webs can show the flow of energy through a freshwater ecosystem.

Different biomes support different varieties of organisms.

Decomposers break down dead or decaying organisms and return nutrients to soil.

Autotrophs, also known as producers, are organisms that can produce their own energy from the Sun through photosynthesis.

A food web is a diagram that shows the different paths along which energy can flow through through an ecosystem.

A food chain is a diagram showing a single path along which energy can flow through an ecosystem.

The primary source of energy on Earth's surface is sunlight.

Secondary consumers are usually smaller carnivores and omnivores that eat primary consumers.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

From where do all living things get their energy? What are three things that living things use energy to do? How is a food web different from a food chain?

After the Game

What is the role of decomposers in an ecosystem? Why did all the food chains in the game begin with a producer and end with a decomposer? Why is the specific order of a food chain so important for an ecosystem's success? If one of the organisms you encountered in a game level—like a primary consumer—were suddenly removed from the ecosystem, how would that change the rest of the food chain you built?
