Food Webs

Here is an empty food web. Copy it or print it out, and fit these organisms into the correct spaces:

Moth caterpillars: Tawny owls: Squirrels: Aphids: Trees (leaves, flowers, fruits, bark): Beetles: Bank voles: Foxes: Sparrows.

It is slightly tricky. If you cannot manage to fit them in, you can rearrange the boxes, or make your own woodland food web based on what we did in the lesson. You may want to illustrate it.

Extension: if the number of foxes goes down, what will be the effect on the tawny owl population, and why?

A complex example.
