Watch Cooper Hunts for H2O on PBS Kids with your [children, ](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/11/how-to-teach-your-children-about-green-living/)
or tell others about how to learn about some of our natural resources. If you were
stranded in the jungle, what resources could you find to help you?

So I looked at the videos. They are fun to watch with young kids. Also this episode
really teaches kids how to appreciate the Jungle. For all its value.

For a plum landing set of [Cooper Hunts](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/02/solar-energy-is-the-future-and-the-time-has-come/)
stories they strive to create a balanced rainforest ecosystem. One in which each
animal has enough food to survive over a period of 12 days, in this interactive 
game from PLUM LANDING™. Players see how the different species of plants and animals
in a rainforest depend on one another. They also experiment with how changing the
amount of one resource affects the whole ecosystem.

The concepts of ecosystem stability and food webs, however, apply to ecosystems 
across the globe. To highlight this, PLUM LANDING offers similar food web games 
in mangrove, desert, and mountain ecosystems. You can choose to have your students
play each of these food web games—Make a Mangrove, Feed the Dingo, and Mountain 
Scramble—and share what they have learned. What similarities are there between all
four games? Can they draw conclusions about the makeup of a healthy ecosystem? What
happened if they added more animals than plants in the mangrove ecosystem? The desert?
Would any ecosystem survive with more animals than plants?
