Students put their science skills to work by creating food webs to explore how living things are connected through feeding relationships. Through hands-on modeling, they identified producers and consumers, traced the flow of energy through an ecosystem, and discovered how organisms depend on one another for survival.
What a great way to bring science learning to life! 🌎🌱🐾
