| Food Webs
All living things can be organized within a food web. We can classify things as
producers (organisms that generate food), consumers (organisms that eat other
organisms), and decomposers (bacteria or fungi that break down the remains of
dead plants and animals). Think of an organism that is an example of each of these
classifications. Next, find pictures of these and other organisms that belong to each
classification in magazines, newspapers, the Internet, or draw them yourself. With
the knowledge that a food web is like a series of interconnected food chains, create
a diagram or collage with the pictures that you have collected or drawn. Label each
picture according to its classification, and then draw lines between connected plants
and animals to create a food web.
