This project is designed to help Standard 5 students understand how to extract food chains from complex food webs through an engaging and hands-on learning model. It focuses on two ecosystems commonly taught in the syllabus, forest and lake ecosystems, which are rich in biodiversity and provide clear examples of predator-prey relationships and the flow of energy.

Students often face difficulties in identifying correct food chains during lessons and examinations, especially when dealing with a web of interconnected species. This confusion usually arises from the challenge of distinguishing between producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and top predators.

To address this, the proposed model enables students to actively build food chains by connecting organisms using physical links. When the correct sequence is created from producer to top predator. The model provides immediate feedback through a green light and buzzer sound. Incorrect arrangements result in a red light or no response, encouraging students to rethink and try again.

This interactive system makes the concept of food chains more memorable and accessible. By involving learners in practical exploration, the model encourages critical thinking and problem-solving. Ultimately, it strengthens their comprehension of ecological relationships, improves exam readiness, and promotes a deeper appreciation of biodiversity and environmental balance.
