Do Now Task . . . . . . .

1. Do Now Task . . . . . . . Look back at your notes from your homework – compare these with the people on your table

2. How could we minimise the impact on local ecosystems? L/O: To create a food web for your local area and investigate how man impacts upon this environment Starter: Working with a Partner or in Threes, combine your findings for all the creatures you identified and list them in your book. (You can also add in creatures you know were there but did not see)

3. Task 1 Place these creatures into an intricate food web like the American one shown here. Don’t forget to categorise each level (Primary Consumers etc).

4. Task 2 Choose one way that man affects any creature in this food chain. Annotate your food chain to show the possible affects of a number of creatures. For example . . . . . . The Pine Martens increase in population because they have more squirrels to eat People start feeding the squirrels Flowers and plant numbers decrease as they are being eaten by the squirrels

5. Levels for food web Level 4: Describe the food web in your local area Level 5: Explain the impact man can have on the food web giving examples Level 6: Come to conclusions about how we can solve some of the problems identified above. Level 7: Do some extra research into food web and how man affects them and compare this to your own investigation
