Reading Food Web Diagrams
Science · Ecosystems & Habitats · representational
Read and interpret food web diagrams — identify producers, primary and secondary consumers, and decomposers; trace energy flow along food chains within the web; predict the effect of removing or adding a species
What mastery looks like
- Identify the producer, herbivore, and carnivore in a food web from a diagram
- Trace two food chains through the same food web and identify shared species
- Predict what would happen to fox numbers if rabbits were removed from a food web diagram
Check your understanding
If Reading Food Web Diagrams is shown a diagram with arrows connecting plants, insects, frogs, and hawks, can they trace which animals eat which and explain what would happen if the frogs disappeared?
