Summary: This week we were discussing food webs. A food web is a series of food chains that are mixed together that are all connected in different ways. As you see in the web above, the antelope squirrel gets it's energy from both brittlebrush and the prickly pear cactus. It gives it's energy to the red tailed hawk. Different plants (producers) give energy to other animals (consumers ) and those animals give their energy to secondary consumers. Then that is passed on to the top level consumers.

This week we were looking at a food web. We answered all of the questions That were going with the web. On some of them, we had to read a small story and answer questions like, " what happens when all of the sardines die?". We were looking at the web to see the way thing would affect the anchovies. Looking at the webs were very useful and went along with the projects just fine.
