Food chains Project

Students will create a food web consisting of organisms found in a specific ecosytem that they choose. Each student must name the organisms, identify the abiotic and biotic factors in the habitat, show the flow of energy in the food web, classify the organism as producer, consumer (primary, secondary, or tertiary), or decomposer; and indicate human impact in that ecosystem.
