Food Web Task

This morning, NEW students started the day with an introduction to Ecology with a demo. The demo started with breaking up into groups of 11-12 and choosing one group member to be the director. We opened an envelope that contained small pieces of paper, each with a different animal on it. Each student (except the director) selected an animal. The director would help connect the animals with yarn. The purpose of this demo was to help us become more familiar with how different animals in biomes are connected and who are the consumers.

A biome is an animal or plant community and each group got a different type of biome, ours was rain forest.
