Opening your next discovery…
Investigate feeding transfers, interdependence and the limits of an environmental model.
Describe a structure and its function. Change one variable at a time in a fair comparison.
Rotate the original schematic, select a numbered part, then connect its structure to its role. Process markers illustrate the recorded experiment.
The system in three dimensions; sizes and distances are illustrative. Numbered labels match the structure list.

Enlarged schematic · Not to scaleDrag to orbit. Pinch or use the zoom buttons to enlarge. Two-finger drag pans on touch devices; right-drag pans with a mouse. Focus the 3D view and use arrow keys to rotate, +/− to zoom, Shift + arrow keys to pan, and Home to reset the camera. Every selectable structure is also a button below.
Select a structure in the model or the list to connect its position, shape and function.
The system in three dimensions; sizes and distances are illustrative.
Move through the structures in an order that connects their roles.
A small invented landscape; not a reconstruction of a particular habitat or complete food web.
This is a spatial learning model. Colour, transparency and layer separation help reveal relationships; they are not measurements.
Run a predicted experiment to activate process playback.
Food-web arrows point from food to consumer, showing transfer of matter and energy.
Removing one group can affect other groups; real food webs have multiple connections.
One-step resource tokens omit reproduction, migration and many species. They do not predict a stable ecosystem.

These markers record practice evidence. A written reflection is not automatically assessed, and one investigation does not establish mastery.
