Educator Resources for Food Fight
Food Fight allows students to build a virtual food web as they learn about and producers and consumers within a biome. The objective of the game is for each player to get his or her selected animal into the biome and grow its population. Students can add one species to the biome per turn by clicking on the species’ card, or they can choose to play a “wild card,” which is a biome-wide event such as poachers or rain. Rolling over a card or avatar reveals information about that species’ predators and prey. After a species is added to the biome, status bars around its avatar show how it is doing. Challenge students to make their species outlast the others!
Food Chains and Ecosystems Lesson Plan: The Food Fight Game
Grades: 3-8
In this lesson plan which is adaptable for grades 3 through 8, students use BrainPOP resources to explore the relationships between organisms within an ecosystem. Students then build a virtual food web to support a selected animal using online game play.
