Food Web & Energy Pyramid 
The student will create a food web consisting of animals found in a specific biome that they chose for their final Biome Project. Directions: Label the Producers, Primary Consumers, Secondary Consumers, and Tertiary Consumers. Draw arrows showing the direction of energy flow: prey-predator. Create an energy pyramid with the same organisms. Label the trophic levels. Show the amount of the sun’s energy at each trophic level. (Include at least 4 trophic levels)
