When you are ready to create a simulation, in the upper-right corner of the Interactive Labs box, click Open Simulator.

B. Choose at least two producers, two primary consumers, two secondary consumers, two tertiary consumers, and two decomposers for the ecosystem you select. There should be 10altogether.

C. Construct a food web (not a food chain) (see note 1 below) showing all of the interactions that are possible for this ecosystem. Include labeled pictures (see note II below) and draw neat lines connecting them. Remember, in a food web, there are many interconnected relationships. Make sure you illustrate these.

Note I: You may construct your food web in several different ways.

1. You can create a PowerPoint which might be easier than a Word document since you have to draw lines and arrows, etc.

2. You can try to do everything in a Word document or

3. You can do a drawing on paper, take a picture, and then put it into a Word document for submission.

Note II: You may use the internet to find pictures of your ten organisms, but you must include a reference page if you do so. You may also draw your organisms. You may not just copy and paste a completed food web from the internet.
