Presentation transcript:

Directions  Grab an organism card from Mrs. Copadis  Get out your lab notebook and answer the following  What is your organism?  What kingdom does your organism belong to?  How does your organism obtain energy?  Is your organism a producer, decomposer or consumer?  If you’re a consumer are you a herbivore, omnivore or carnivore? Does that make you a primary, secondary or tertiary consumer?

Objective  Students will visualize the affects of removing 1 or more trophic levels from a food chain through the food web laboratory experiment.

Agenda  Pre-lab Questions  Web It! Activity  Post Lab Questions

Post Lab Questions  What would have happened to our food web if a drought were to happen in the upland forest?  How did the disruptions to the food web affect the biodiversity of the upland forest ecosystem?  Why is diversity important?  Was our food web simple or complex? Explain your answer!
