Ecosystems Activity Links:
Mare's Build-A-Fish The University of Berkeley presents this simple activity to give students a chance to build a fish that fits its environment. After picking a habitat, students pick a head, body, tail, and coloring for their fish. After choosing, the survive-o-meter will tell users how well adapted their fish was to the environment.
St. Matthew Island Ecosystem / Food Web game.
Chain Reaction Another interactive food web with more components. Also links to climate change and other wildlife options.
