Construct a Food Web. In this activity you will be assigned a specific ecosystem - Tropical Rainforest -where you will construct and draw a representative  food web - NOT A FOOD CHAIN - for your ecosystem. You may: draw your organisms/food web by hand (I love seeing your nice artwork!), draw a food web using word or other appropriate software, where images of your organisms can be taken from the web, or a combination of both.

Example:

Your Food Web diagram  SHOULD TAKE UP AN ENTIRE 8.5x11 piece of paper and include the following:

1. Your food web must have  10 specific organisms from your assigned ecosystem. Make sure they are identifiable organisms, each with a picture/image and correctly spelled and labelled name.

2. Also clearly label each organisms  trophic level: i.e. Primary Producer, Consumer (indicate whether its Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, etc), Detritivore and/or Decomposer, and Top Predator. You must include at least one of  each of these.

3. Arrows clearly indicating who is consuming who, in the correct direction of energy transfer.
