Give your students the opportunity to actively explore how energy flows through a habitat in this exciting program taking place in High Park’s Black Oak Savannah or your own local green space. Activities such as a habitat study/photo hunt help students understand how the organisms have adapted to meet their energy needs. Through the day’s activities, students also come to understand that abiotic elements (sun, water, air, and nutrients) are turned into food energy by producers and then discover how that energy is cycled through the habitat via food chains and food webs. To bring all parts of the day together, students participate in a role-play simulation to experience the cycle of energy first hand!
