  1. Hungry Jungle

  2. What happened to the animals? Forest species = 36 Impacted species = 21

  3. Today • Groups of 4. • Each group gets: • Large sheet of felt • Organism cards • Arrows • Activity sheet • Task: To as a group figure out a way to illustrate what organisms eat what in the jungle.

  4. Food Chain • Food chains show the transfer of energy from one organism to the next. • Each level is called a trophic level.

  5. Trophic Levels • Indicates the position that the organism occupies in the food chain. • The levels are numbered according to how far the particular organism is along the chain. • the primary producer (1), to herbivores (2), to predators (3), to carnivores or top carnivores (4 or 5).

  6. Disturbed Food Chain • Any disturbance affects the whole food chain. • What happens if the top predator is eliminated?

  7. Food Web • A more complex system of multiple food chains. • Many interactions. http://neuearbeitmachtfrei.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

  8. My Research • Why may I have found more species in the forest and not in the impacted places? • Importance of conservation.
