Food+Webs

Students are to use a piece of construction paper to construct a food web from one of the given ecosystems. (Tundra, Taiga, Temperate Deciduous Forest, Tropical Rain Forest, Grassland, Desert, Saltwater biome, and Freshwater Biome) They are to cut out pictures of species from magazines, or print them off of the internet, or draw them. Students are to arrange the pictures to show how the nutrients are passed from species to species in a series of chains. The arrows should point in the direction that the nutrients are going. Students must have at least six pictures, a title that states the ecosystem, each species labled, labled producer, consumer, or decomposer, and have a decomposer next to it. Students need to think about what is typical for the species to eat and what it is eaten by. Also all organisims must live in the same environment. http://www.gould.edu.au/foodwebs/ http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/food/food_menu.html (Game) http://www.vtaide.com/png/foodchains.htm http://www.sciencebob.com/lab/q-web-chain.htmlmedia type="custom" key="306017"Owl Pellet Disection Video
