Food Chains and Food Webs

Our Imagine It unit has focused on Animals and Their Habitats. A couple of weeks ago, we read a story titled Wolf Island. In the story, a family of wolves move away and it causes problems with the food chain on the island. To go along with our story, we learned about food chains interactively, and then made our own food web. We learned how animals are interdependent on one another, and how the disappearance of one species can have a horrible effect on the food web. Here are a few pictures.

Devean still having problems! :) 

Nobody is quite sure how he got tangled up in the food web, but

we were all very entertained by it.

Good news: Devean managed to get free!
