Science Food Web Poster Project

Food Web Poster Project:

Create a food web by printing/cutting out/drawing pictures of producers, consumers, & decomposers.

Producers: Plants                     Consumers: Animals that eat plants or other animals

Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead things to put nutrients back into the soil

Requirements:

1.      Must be on a poster.

2.      Must include the sun and at least 3 food chains connected into a food web.

3.      Must be colorful & original (do not just print out an already created food web).

4.      Must include a list of all the food chains in the web. (Either on back/side of poster or on separate piece of paper)

Example:             1. Grass, rabbit, fox, maggots               2. Weeds, mouse, owl 

3. Hay, horse, vulture                              4. Nuts, squirrel, hawk

5. Must include a list categorizing organisms you used as producers, consumers, or                       decomposers. (Either on back/side of poster or on separate piece of paper)

Example:           Producers= grass, weeds, hay, nuts 

Consumers= rabbit, fox, mouse, owl, horse, squirrel, hawk

Decomposers= maggots, vulture
