Ecosystem Detectives – Classroom & Outdoor Learning Activity (Primary to Secondary)
Ecosystem Detectives is an interactive environmental education game designed for primary through secondary students. It works well in both the classroom and outdoor learning settings.
In this role-play activity, students take on different roles within an ecosystem — such as plants, animals, or abiotic elements like water.
Through questioning and clue-gathering, learners work out who or what they are, gradually building an understanding of how each part of the system connects.
Perfect for science, biology, and outdoor learning, Ecosystem Detectives is a fun, hands-on way to explore ecosystems and interdependence with learners from primary to secondary ages.
This activity helps learners to:
- Understand the characteristics and roles of organisms in an ecosystem
- Explore concepts of interdependence and community structure
- Recognise the links between living and non-living elements
- Make abstract ecological principles more concrete and relatable
