About the Game

This simulator shows how energy from the sun and from geologic thermal processes flows through living things. Use nodes and arrows to trigger the movement of energy through food webs, from the sun to plants to herbivores, all the way up to apex predators, and then back to the soil again.

Partners

We worked with our amazing partners at BrainPOP to create a collection of simulations for their teacher-ready science materials. Our BrainPOP simulations are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards for grades 6-12.
