Food Web Game
Welcome to the Food Web Game. The following
slides are NOT a slide show presentation. They
are spinners for the Food Web Game and signs for
the stations needed for the game. Game created

Directions

• 1. Prepare for game by placing spinners (slides
  3-25) in a large cleared space like the gym, AP
  room, or outside. Place a paperclip at each
  station to use for the spinner. Use the student
  page as a map for placement to make the
  stations easier to locate. Identify each station
  with the signs (slides 26-48).
• 2. Each pair of students should have a student
  sheet. They should have crayons or color
  pencils. Students will choose one color to
  complete round one of the game. Each pair will
  begin at the sun station and spinner to determine
  which plant received the energy. The students
  should draw an arrow from the sun to the plant on
  which the spinner landed.
• 3. The student pair will then proceed to the
  plant station and spin the spinner to determine
  where the energy goes next. At each station the
  students should draw an arrow to show the flow of
  energy through the ecosystem. When the students
  reach the end of a food chain (recycled through
  decay). They should return to the sun station
  and begin again with a new color to show round
  two. Do not draw an arrow back to the sun.
• 4. At the end of several rounds of play the
  students should have clear food chains (color
  coded) that form a food web.
• Note There tends to be a bottleneck at the sun
  station, especially to start the game since
  everyone needs to begin there. It may expedite
  the game to have a few spinners for the sun
  station.
