MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER? ECOSYSTEM MENU MADNESS!

Are you looking for a creative way for your students to use their knowledge of ecosystems and food chains/food webs in a real-world context? This activity/project allows students to create a menu based on the producers, consumers, and decomposers for their chosen ecosystem or biome. It combines science, research, and art, so it is definitely a multi-disciplinary approach to life science.

Students will select an ecosystem and then select an herbivore, a carnivore, and an omnivore for which to create their meals, beverages, desserts,etc. There are suggestions for differentiation as well a reflection and two sample menus.

My students enjoyed this project very much, and I hope yours do, too!
