Food Chain Balance Simulator
Grass, rabbits and foxes: change one and watch the whole chain wobble.
11 activities
Food chains, carbon footprints and clean energy.
Become a climate detective: balance a food chain, measure a carbon footprint, and plan a city powered by the sun, wind and water.
By class: Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7, Class 8, Class 9, Class 10.
Grass, rabbits and foxes: change one and watch the whole chain wobble.
Adjust travel, electricity, food and shopping to see your yearly CO₂, and how to shrink it.
Power a growing city with solar, wind, hydro and coal, balancing cost, pollution and blackouts.
Pave the town, dig drains, keep a wetland and raise the embankment, then hit it with a storm and count the houses that flood.
Add trees, light roofs and ponds to a city and watch how much cooler it gets than the countryside, by day and at night.
Turn the traffic, factories, stubble fires and dust up or down, add wind, rain or a winter inversion, and watch the PM2.5 and AQI respond hour by hour.
Let fertiliser and sewage into a lake, watch the algae bloom and the oxygen crash, then treat the sewage and see whether the fish survive.
Clear or replant a hillside and read what changes: run-off, soil washed into the river, water reaching the ground and carbon stored.
Set how much a town reduces, reuses, collects and recycles, run the years and watch how much plastic piles up in the sea.
Mix greens and browns, set the moisture and turning, and see how many days your heap takes to become compost, or whether it turns smelly.
Burn coal, run traffic, fit scrubbers and converters, and read the pH of the rain and what it does to a marble statue, a lake and a forest.
Try fewer filters, a different word, or clear everything.
