Food Web Challenge

This is part of an Ecology Unit, where students will create a food web using a set of cards. Students will identify the organisms in the different trophic levels, create a series of food chains, then a food web. Students will identify the invasive species and place it in the aquatic food. Students will work in groups of two and later on write a paragraph about their thinking on the impact of invasive species in the web. Eventually, students will design, code and program an Edison V2 robot to see how changes in the transfer of matter and energy affect the organisms in the ecosystem. Students can use legos to create and design an organism or a habitat, they can code and program the robot and demonstrate/present or compete with other robots in class.
