Food Webs-Day 2
Today we explored food webs further.
Our stations allowed you to create a diagram of a food web
Above is one of the groups diagram! Very good job if you were apart of this group.
Please look at the post below and continue to work with food webs. Also, it would be beneficial to you if you started studying for our Unit test on Friday.
There will be a CELEBRATION and REVIEW on Friday so get excited!

Habitats
Today we learned all about habitats. A habitat is an animal's "home". An animal or plant's habitat provides food, water, shelter, and space for them to survive. Remember that many habitats can be in an ecosystem, BUT there is NOT many ecosystems within a habitat.
Please visit the link below. Read through the site then click on the Ecosystems link to review more concepts taught.
After you have finished reading both links, you can play the Habitat game found to the right of this post -------> in "HELPFUL WEBSITES"!
Answer the following question:
Give an example of an animal that you would find in the desert. Why is this animal able to live there? Then, give an example of an animal that you would NOT find in the desert. Why is the desert not the most suitable habitat for this animal?
