Essential Question How much energy is available at each level of a food pyramid and why? Standard B.12C - analyze the flow of matter and energy through trophic levels using various models, including food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids. PG 130

This is a quiz grade! Objective: To create a food web showing the flow of energy and matter. A.Choose a biome: Taiga (Frozen), Ocean (Finding Nemo), Grassland (Lion King), Deciduous Forest (Bambi), Desert (Aladdin), Tropical Rainforest (Jungle Book), or Tundra (Happy Feet). B.Draw a food web with at least 10 organisms. (You do not have to draw pictures. You can write words instead.) C.Outline and label your organisms with the following colors: producers green, herbivores yellow, carnivores red, omnivores blue, and decomposers orange. D.Label each applicable organism as a primary (#1), secondary (#2), tertiary (#3), or quaternary (#4) consumer. *some organisms will have multiple labels* E.Use ARROWS to show the flow of energy and matter. *Remember: Some organisms might have several arrows leaving and going to/from that organism* F.Write numbers representing the amount of energy at each level – the producer will start with 100 kcal (energy). *some organisms will have multiple numbers* G.A. On the back of your paper: Explain how your web would be affected i.If a quaternary consumer was removed from the ecosystem. ii.If a producer was removed from the ecosystem. iii.If a secondary consumer was added to the ecosystem (give an example). B. What human activities could have the biggest impact on your web? How would your organisms adapt?
