Beyond polar bears and seals, there are many other animals and plant life that depend on Arctic ice. This game is a fun way to learn about the food web in the Arctic. You may think someplace cold and filled with ice does not have a lot happening, but that is not the case. Just below the surface under the ice is a world that includes a range of living things - from the tiny phytoplankton to the huge walrus and even bigger whales. All depend on Arctic ice to survive. Try your hand at saving this ecosystem by playing EcoChains: Arctic Futures.
Test your knowledge and see what you learn by playing the game. Take this Kahoot! Quiz before and after you play the game to see what how much you have learned!
