SPECIFICATION

  • Investigate the influence of introduced species by adding them to a native food web.
  • Predator/Prey relationships (links) require only a click on the prey then a click on the predator.
  • The construction of food chains and webs could not be simpler- just drag your selected organism around the screen and drop it in position.
  • Teacher controlled report options allows you to control: . Direct student feedback - Visual reports and Red arrows indicate incorrect links.
  • No visual reports or red arrows - Reports can be printed at end of exercise. Great for testing.
  • Model simple food chains over 25 years, to investigate predator/prey relationships, using the model system.
  • Full Web Modeling
  • Up to 30 species can be modelled for 25 years.
  • Change the web easily during modelling to introduce of new species and a change the ecosystem.
  • Control rainfall. Cause droughts or much needed rain.
  • Allow bushfires.
  • Introduce farming into the ecosystem.
  • Animal migration can be turned on or off.
  • Graphs of modelled data include biomass pyramid with consumers levels.
  • View and print seasonal data.
  • Save data as text files which can be loaded into speadsheets etc for later analysis.
  • Change species start numbers for your food web. 
  • Your food web and model data can be easily saved.
