| Abstract | Animals depend on their surroundings for their survival. In consuming their food, animals are consuming energy. This cycling of matter and the accompanying flow of energy within an ecosystem occurs because of interactions among and between organisms. To guide students in modeling how ecosystems function, the authors share "Ecosystem Chess," a game upper elementary students can play with limited materials to simulate an ecosystem. This game addresses "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) 5-LS2A and 5-LS2B, in which students "explore interdependent relationships in ecosystems" and the "cycles of matter and energy transfer in ecosystems." In this article the authors outline the details of the game and provide information for teacher preparation and implementation. In addition, the authors suggest lines of teacher questioning to use when playing the game to help scaffold student thinking and conversation. Teachers might start with these suggestions and further refine them over time through reflective practice to meet the specific needs of their students. This game can be a single lesson or part of a larger lesson and series of simulations for students to explore. Because it lends itself to a wide range of environments, teachers are encouraged to engage the game multiple times as they support students in learning about the roles of various groups in an ecosystem, energy transfer, and human impacts within the ecosystem. Ecosystem chess is very open ended by design to support teachers in the widest range of settings and circumstances. (ERIC). |
