Students construct a food web to learn how living things in an ecosystem are interconnected. In this food web simulation lesson, students will be assigned an animal and the teacher will represent the sun. Students and teacher discuss who they could give their energy to (be eaten by); the teacher will hold a ball of yarn and pass it to someone that can use its energy, this cycle will continue until a food web has been created.
