Eco Web

In the Eco Lab assignment our group was tasked with creating a biotic web of a ecosystem, ours being an ocean. for a list of given ocean life. On every group member´s shoulder a piece of paper with a the name of a biotic element in the ecosystem. Each person was given a two pieces of yarn tied together, one side green and the other red. The red side was held by a predator/consumer while the green side was held by prey.  These connections created the web.

(Images on add on here. Will do at home)

I learned from the assignment the relation between biotic elements in a ecosystem and the difference between predator, prey, consumer, and producer.
