Food Web Analysis Worksheet
Food webs and food chains are a basic, fundamental concept of ecology that nearly every student learns once or twice. However, there is a lot more behind the food web than simply "who eats who". This worksheet will take students through a portion of the complex food web found at Yellowstone National Park and have them work with concepts such as trophic level (producer - primary consumer - secondary consumer - tertiary consumer), energy flow, the Ten percent rule, decomposers, and keystone species.
