Citizen Science - Food Webs and Climate Change
Lesson4 of 6 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 8ScienceBiologyEnvironmentalBiodiversityCitizen ScienceClimate Change
Lesson Summary
Students explore food webs and investigate some of the ways climate change might affect food webs. Students begin by looking at what a food web is, and then work in groups to use the ClimateWatch app to create a food web including animals in their local area. Students can then use one of two scenarios to explore how climate change might impact the food web they have created. Finally, students will consider how these impacts might affect the broader ecosystem.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- investigate how food webs can help us to understand relationships between species
- recognise how food webs can help us to predict the impacts of climate change on ecosystems
Success criteria
Students can:
- describe what a food web is, in their own words
- hypothesise how climate change might affect species in their local area
- create a food web
- use the ClimateWatch app
