Blueberry Farm
Blueberry Farm is a computer program that models a simple ecosystem.
It was designed to be used as part of a sequence of science lessons aiming to help Year 7 pupils understand more about the use of chemical agents in farming and how these can affect ecosystems.
The Year 7 pupils enjoyed using Blueberry Farm and the teachers felt that it served as a valuable tool for stimulating thinking.
Blueberry Farm can be squeezed into one 1 hour lesson, but ideally should be done over two lessons.
