Ecosystem Food Web Creator Template
Assign random organisms to biology students to build complex, interconnected food webs.
🌋 The Extinction Event Game
After the food web is built, spin the wheel to select one species that suddenly goes extinct. Have the class map the cascading effects on the ecosystem.
🦗 Invasive Species Introduction
Add a few invasive species to the wheel. When one is selected, groups must explain how it disrupts their established food chain.
Interactive Ecology and Food Web Mapping
Creating a food web from scratch can feel overwhelming for students learning about energy flow. You can use this template to randomly distribute organisms to different lab groups. Spin the wheel to give each group their starting species. They must then research their organism, determine its trophic level, and physically connect with other groups in the room to form a complete, accurate food web.
This turns a static diagram into a collaborative classroom activity. As you spin, the chalkboard logs each assigned species so you avoid duplicates. If you are teaching multiple biology periods, you can use the 10 quick slots to save different biomes: a tundra web in slot one and a coral reef in slot two. You never have to retype the lists between classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I manage a large class with only a few organisms on the wheel?
You can easily import a massive list of species from a spreadsheet directly into the app, ensuring every student gets a unique organism.
Can we use this to show the 10% energy rule?
Assign energy values to the producers first. As you spin for consumers, ask students to calculate the available energy transferred to the new trophic level.
What if a student draws an organism that does not fit our current biome?
You can quickly toggle off mismatched species using the eye icon, or use the slots feature to keep your biomes strictly separated.
