Two blooms of phytoplankton, instead of just one, now occur in the Arctic due to declining sea ice, which will have widespread effects on the marine life and climate. In small groups, participants build an Arctic food web with given...

Students explore healthy eating by defining food vocabulary terms. In this food purchasing instructional activity, students utilize word/picture cards to participate in a food identification activity among their classmates. Students read...

Students identify the different organisms in the food web. In this biology activity, students create food chains using the information on cards. They explain what happens if an organism is removed or added in the web.

Students are divided into three groups, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores which receive a certain number of lives. Once in their ecosystem (outside or the gym), the carnivores chase and eat either the herbivores or omnivores, the...
