What educators are saying
Description
This is a fun activity for students to learn more about a chosen ecosystem and food web. Students create a tri-fold restaurant menu with prices, food names (examples: Plankton Tea and Great White Chowder), and a picture of the food web using resources. This project encourages creativity while learning science. My students are always excited to complete this project and share with their fellow classmates.
