Food Web Logic Puzzles
This collection of fun and engaging logic puzzles contains 2 food chain and pyramid puzzle pages and 7 food web logic puzzles. These puzzles are a creative way to reinforce the student's understanding of food webs. Because all of the organisms have been given imaginative names, students will have to rely on their understanding of the vocabulary describing each organism (producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, competition, and primary, secondary and tertiary consumers).
