Have your child read the paragraph about food chains. Next, they will think about the effects of human interaction on a food web and/or food chain. Prompt thinking with questions like: What would happen if humans removed all of the snakes from an ecosystem? How does building and development affect different animals in an ecosystem? Why do we see more rabbits and squirrels in our neighborhood than bobcats and foxes? Students will then use cutouts from magazines, printed pictures or drawings to create a poster of a food web, connecting each organism with drawn lines, yarn, or string. Finally, students will complete the food web on the second page of the PDF by drawing lines and making connections between different organisms in the food web.
