If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science Energy in Ecosystems Activity is a perfect fit!
This no-prep energy in ecosystems worksheet introduces students to marine ecologist Dr. Enric Sala and helps them explore how energy moves through ocean food webs. Students will connect biology concepts like producers, consumers, apex predators, food webs, trophic cascades, overfishing, marine protected areas, conservation, and ecosystem balance to real scientific work.
I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real careers in science.
Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.
This activity fits perfectly when teaching energy flow in ecosystems, food webs, trophic levels, apex predators, trophic cascades, marine ecosystems, conservation, or human impacts on ecosystems. Students will learn how Dr. Enric Sala studies ocean ecosystems to understand how predators, prey, producers, and protected marine areas all affect the movement of energy through a food web.
Your students will see that energy flow is not just arrows on a food web diagram. It is a real pattern scientists study to understand healthy ecosystems, protect ocean life, and explain what happens when one part of a food web is disrupted.
