Creating A Food Web

The document provides instructions for creating a food web for a specific ecosystem. Students are asked to work in groups to choose an ecosystem, research key producers, consumers, decomposers, and an apex predator. They then create a food web using images and names of the species, showing energy pathways and the roles of each in the ecosystem. The food web will be evaluated based on accuracy, completeness, inclusion of necessary components like detritivores, and proper sourcing of information about the species.

Creating a Food Web.

25pts
Objective:
As a group choose an actual ecosystem in the world. Identify Key producers, Key primary Consumers, secondary
consumers, key Decomposers and Detritivovers, and at least one apex predator to create a basic food web for the
ecosystem.
Procedure:
1. Create a group of three and choose an ecosystem. (Be careful not to choose a biome or community.) example ecosystems:
Everglades, Sanorjan desert, rocky mountain alpine tundra, caribbean reefs, the list goes on choose a place you have some
interest in.
2. Research and determine key Apex predators and primary producers. What do they eat, what eats them?
3. You need to have at least 3 tiers of consumers: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary
4. There should be at least one key detritivore and one key decomposer for your ecosystem
5. Find one unique symbiotic relationship within your ecosystem and include it in your web.
6. Create unique images of your species
7. Use the first page of a Google Slides to coordinate and create your food web, including names, niches, role (produces,
herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, scavenger, detritivore, decomposer), and energy pathways for all species.
