Ecosystem Lab Pull one thread — remove the otters, bring back the wolves — and watch the trophic cascade ripple through the food chain.
Restoration Scenario Predict how a real conservation project turns an ecosystem around, then watch life return.
Predator & Prey Predict how two populations rise and fall together over time.
EcoSphere Journey A path through every kit — clear each stop of real practice, then move on. All activities
Predict-and-observe labs
Ecosystem Lab Energy flow, the ten-percent pyramid, and who-eats-whom — trace a trophic cascade one chain at a time. Predator & Prey Predict how two populations rise and fall together over time. Restoration Scenario Predict a conservation project, then watch life return. Food Web Detective Add each energy-flow arrow from what you observed. Energy Pyramid Predict how much energy survives each 10% step. Teach the Cast Teach an ecosystem idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick.
Practice & play
Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. EcoSphere Sprint Race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious answer is a trap. Ecosphere Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room. Progress Your levels, streak, and how each skill area is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas. Export a CSV or print.

Meet the cast — the characters who teach this
-
Chain Food chain / trophic flow (energy moving up levels) -
Niche Ecological role / job-in-the-ecosystem -
Phase Succession / ecosystem change over time (primary, secondary, climax) -
Crown Canopy / trophic-pyramid structure (top vs. base) -
Brink Tipping points / ecosystem thresholds / resilience-or-collapse -
Cinder Carbon cycle — the same carbon moves round and round: air to plant to animal to air -
Lodge Keystone species — one species that holds a whole ecosystem together; remove it and the web unravels -
Mulch Decomposition — what dies doesn't leave; it is broken down and handed back to the living -
Rill Water cycle — the same water goes round forever: sea to sky to rain to stream to sea -
Sprawl Invasive species — a species carried somewhere new, where nothing holds it back
