5. Assignment
On a separate sheet of paper, draw four different food chains for your ecosystem. (if possible, do not use an animal or plant twice in the four food chains) You need at least 5 items on each food chain. Pay close attention to which way the arrows are pointing.
On the back of this sheet of paper, draw a food web for your ecosystem. You need at least 20 items on your food web. Pay close attention to which way the arrows are pointing.
