Food Web Poster

Food Web Poster 

Students were given an assignment to create a food web poster and answer two questions. They were given the instructions and a rubric. We started brainstorming today in class, but the rest of the assignment is to be completed at home. Students are encouraged to research their ecosystems to help with identifying animals (if needed), or they may use text resources and science notebooks available in my classroom. Students may also come to extra help on Wednesday (different this week) if needed, or ask questions before the due date (next Monday). Thanks!
