Food Web: Weaving a Web
Students become a part of a FOOD WEB in this simulation using a series of FOOD CHAINS. Students work together as a whole class and build a FOOD WEB using rope/string. Once the web is built, students can easily see the interconnected nature of life. Teacher prompts to kill off certain organisms, having students drop their string and all attachments lead to deeper understanding of environmental impacts. Students then take that knowledge and draw the FOOD WEB on their worksheets using the FOOD CHAI
