Ecology Project Day 3

Image result for food webCreate an energy pyramid.
Place each organism into the correct trophic level.  List the names only. No drawing is needed.



 You will construct a Food Web by using the  animals listed. The ecosystem represents a farm area.  The corn is the main source of food for many of the herbivores in the area.   You do not have to draw pictures, you can just use the animal namedand draw arrows between them.

The species to use for this food web are: snake, corn, caterpillar, deer, crow, mouse, cougar, squirrel, micro-oganisms, (decomposers).


From the list above, identify:
1) Producers
2) Primary consumers
3) Tertiary consumers
4) herbivores
5) Carnivores
6) Omnivores
7) What elements are missing from this food web?

Ecology Project Day 2

1) Food chains - create at least 4 food chains that exist in your biome. Each food chain must have at least 3 to 4 organisms.  Make certain your arrow goes from energy source to energy user.

2) Assemble your food chains into a food web.
a) Use different colored pencil for each food chain within the food web.
b) The food web must show all the organisms from your food chains and may include more.
c) Be sure to include the sun and decomposers
d) Draw and name each organism in your food web.
e) Label each species either producer/autotroph, consumer/heterotroph
f) Identify at least 2 symbiotic relationships. (This does not have to be included in the food web)
