Web of Life Game Rice University's GirlTECH '96 sponsored the development of this game which uses a river habitat to simulate a food web and ecosystem. The later rounds of the game even have the zebra mussel as one member of the web. Science and social studies concepts are both covered. This site has a detailed lesson plan, which helps students to understand echo location, whale communication, and whale sounds. There are links to a huge thematic web unit on whales, a Sea World teacher's guide, and sounds of whales.
