Ecosystem Jenga game
|
This lesson plan is meant to show how an ecosystem is organized and that everything in the environment is interconnected. A population is defined as a group of individuals that can breed with one another. The difference in a population and a community is that a population is made up of the same species. A community is several different populations co-existing together. An ecosystem is made up of different communities. There are many different kinds of ecosystems (forest, fields, ponds, rivers, etc).
During the game, students remove different organisms from the ecosystem (maybe a primary consumer, or producers, or decomposers). Eventually, there has been so many disruptions that the ecosystem collapses. |
Producer:
Organism that can make its own food Primary Consumer: Organism that eats producers Secondary Consumer: Organism that eats primary consumers and/or producers Individual: A single organism Population: A group of individuals of the same species interacting and interbreeding Community: A group of multiple populations interacting within a given area Ecosystem: Interacting communities as well as all the nonliving parts of the environment |
