Linguistic/Verbal

Script and produce a podcast episode interviewing each other in your group as “organisms” in a food web. Discuss what they eat, where their energy comes from, and how energy flows in their ecosystem. Use WeVideo to produce your podcast.

Logical/Mathematical

Code a simple game or interactive simulation where players match producers, consumers, and decomposers in a food web and track energy levels as organisms interact. You can use https://code.org/en-US/tools/game-lab or a coding app of your choice. Take a screenshot of your game to show your work or turn in the game link to Google classroom.

Visual/Spatial

jhitsman10 — 2025-06-03 22:19:17 UTC

Create a stop-motion video showing the path of energy from the sun through producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. Use paper cutouts or clay models and add narration to explain the energy transfer. You can use https://www.cateater.com/ to create your video.

Interpersonal

jhitsman10 — 2025-06-03 22:20:04 UTC

In a group, create an interactive food web poster that links to audio, video, or pop-up text explaining how energy transfers between organisms. You can create this through Google slides or use https://creately.com/lp/food-web-maker/ Peer review will be part of the learning process.

Intrapersonal

Take a virtual tour of different ecosystems (coral reefs, rainforests) and keep a digital journal tracking energy flow in food chains they observe. You can use the website https://thevirtualfield.org/virtual-visits/ecosystem-exploration/ or find one on your own. Write reflections about your journey at the end.

Bodily/Kinesthetic

jhitsman10 — 2025-06-03 22:20:29 UTC

Script and act out a short skit where your group play the roles of sun, plants, animals, and decomposers. Use different props to add a creative twist, e.g., a flashlight “energy” passed between them. Use WeVideo to record your skit.

Musical/Rhythmic

jhitsman10 — 2025-06-03 22:20:44 UTC

In teams, compose and perform raps about energy transfer. Record and mix beats using your computer's built-in app. Incorporate vocabulary like "trophic levels" and "10% rule," and present your music to the class. Use Garage Band to record your performance.
