Lesson5 of 9 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 8ScienceEnvironmentalClimate ChangeEnergy
Lesson Summary
In this activity students look at how climate change may affect the food webs and the trophic relationships within them. Students begin by refreshing their knowledge of food webs by working as a class to create an African grassland food web. Students will then break into groups to explore a number of different ecosystems and will investigate how these ecosystems might be impacted by climate change. Students are asked to create a short film or animation sharing their research.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand what is meant by food chain, food web, trophic level and trophic relationships
- understand that different ecosystems are comprised of unique food webs and trophic relationships
- recognise that climate change will have impacts on the integrity of food webs
- understand that although the impacts of climate change will affect different organisms in different ways, the whole food web will affected.
