Student will create a food chain, a food web, and a trophic level model, each consisting of plants and animals found in a specific biome that they choose. The student must name the role of each plant and animal, show the flow of energy in the food web, classify the organism as producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tirtiary consumer, or decomposer; and indicate where the organisms obtains their energy orginally (the sun or thermal vents). Please be creative.

Students will choose a specific biome and create a food web that consists of 3 interconnecting food chains. Each link in the food chain should be labeled with the the animal/organism's name and type (producer, consumer, or decomposer). Arrows should be used to show the flow of energy through the food web.

Students will create a food web of an ecosystem. Each student must name the organisms, display the flow of energy, and classify the organisms as producers or consumers. The food web must be neat, clear, concise, and colorful. Students also need to write a report giving details about their food web. The report should include what would happen if there were too many or too few of a specific organism. The report should also include how a natural or man-made disaster would affect the ecosystem.

Students will make a life cycle book of a plant. Students will tell the stages of the life cycle. Each life cycle stage should include a picture and a fact.
