Food Chains and Food Webs

Tuesday, September 14th. Today we constructed food chains that might exist in different ecosystems like a desert or a rainforest. We examined how energy and matter move through these food chains. As we added more organisms to the ecosystem we created food webs that illustrated the interconnectedness of the organisms and their various roles and niches within the ecosystem. We went over the different levels of producers, consumers and decomposers as well. Homework is due tomorrow.
