To demonstrate their understanding of how energy is passed throughout an ecosystem and the symbiotic relationships of organisms within an ecosystem, students construct a food web marble run. This activity will need 3 sessions of 45 - 60 min to complete. This is an engaging lesson where students are doing a hands-on activity and collaborating with others in the classroom. They also reflect on what they learned.
