Dramatic Food Webs

Food Web
Food webs are pretty amazing. In our investigation of food webs we've realized that the environment around us is SO carefully balanced and any small change made by humans can alter that balance. In small groups we created a skit using only body motions, no words, to show a food web from a particular community. The communities were:
- ocean
- jungle
- forest
- swamp

- meadow
See if you can guess which is which! Also, try to figure out who is the PRODUCER in each food chain and who are the CONSUMERS. The energy is transferred from one organism to the next in the community's food web. The energy for the producer always comes from...you guessed it! The SUN.
