This project aims to immerse high school students in the dynamic world of ecosystems, focusing on the intricate relationships within food webs and the impact of human actions. Through hands-on activities, real-world field experiences, and collaborative projects, students will deepen their understanding of ecological concepts and develop practical conservation strategies. By engaging with local community partners and utilizing innovative technology, students will explore ecological dynamics, fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to their environment.

Students will understand the intricate roles of species within food webs and the impact of human actions on ecosystem stability. They will develop skills in ecological research, data collection, and the use of technology to model and simulate ecosystems. Through collaborative projects and hands-on experiences, students will learn to analyze and propose solutions for real-world ecological challenges, enhancing their ability to communicate scientific concepts to diverse audiences.

Students will create an interactive digital map highlighting the local ecosystem's food web, featuring clickable species that reveal their roles and the effects of human activities. They will also develop a comprehensive conservation plan for the local ecosystem, incorporating data from field observations and ecological modeling. Additionally, students will contribute to a 'Living Ecosystem Exhibit,' using creative displays and live demonstrations to present their findings and engage the community in conservation efforts.

Begin the project with an immersive 'Ecosystem Exploration Day' at a local park, where students embark on a scavenger hunt guided by park rangers to identify various species and their roles within the food web. Complement this with a 'Virtual Ecosystem Tour' using VR technology, allowing students to explore diverse global ecosystems and engage in a group discussion about the similarities and differences in food webs. These activities will spark curiosity and provide a dynamic introduction to the project's focus on ecosystem dynamics and human impact.

Transform the classroom into a dynamic 'Living Ecosystem Exhibit' where students creatively display their understanding of food webs and conservation strategies. Utilize art installations, interactive technology, and live demonstrations to represent various species and their ecological roles. Invite community members, parents, and local experts to explore and engage with the exhibits, fostering dialogue and raising awareness about ecosystem dynamics and human impacts.
