Years 9 and 10
Ecosystems consist of communities of interdependent organisms and abiotic components of the environment; matter and energy flow through these systems.
These activities are designed for students to understand the interactions between animals and abiotic components. Students create food web using animals in the data from Wildlife Victoria and learn the flow of abiotic components by adding arrows in it.
