Food Webs
To prepare for developing a food web for your new species, you will watch a video
about food webs and answer questions.
1. Go to
https://edpuzzle.com/assignments/5801004664a6fce33e2886f6/watch
2. Watch the video with your group.
3. Answer the following questions in your folder.
• What does a food chain illustrate?
• What is an ecosystem?
• What is a food web made up of?
• What is used in a food chain to show what is eaten by what?
• What would happen if an organism was removed from a food web?
4. Questions will be discussed at the end of class.
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
•
•
I can describe a food
chain
I can describe how a
food web illustrates the
complexity of the
feeding relationships
amongst organisms
A
Rabbits, Rabbits
AUGMENTATION
Technology acts as a direct tool for
substitution with some functional
improvement.
Using the gizmo, you will answer questions about food webs.
1. Using your assigned device and Google Chrome, go to the following
website:
https://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cuser.dsploginjoi
2. Login with your username and password
3. Launch the “Food Web” gizmo
4. Answer the assessment questions after you have finished the gizmo.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
•
I can identify how energy is
transferred in a food web.
M
Interactive Adaptation
Using an interactive video, you will select adaptations for survival.
1. Using your assigned device and Google Chrome,go to the following
website:
http://fwp.mt.gov/export/sites/FwpPublic/education/ecosystem/plains/ada
ptations/game.swf
2. Click the start button.
3. Choose a scenario then three adaptations
4. Click the release button to see if your bird survived.
5. After successfully releasing a bird, use the snipping tool to capture the
picture and information.
6. Insert your picture into the class Google Slides. Make sure you add it to
your assigned slide.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for the
creation of new tasks that were
previously not conceivable
Learning Objective(s):
•
I can choose adaptations
that help animals survive
in their environment
R
Creature, Creature!!
After taking and sharing pictures of your “creature” with another class, you will critique
it using a rubric.
1. On your assigned computer, using Paint, draw, color and label, according
to the rules of a biological diagram, a diagram of your organism.
2. Label the 5 adaptations. Save your image to the your folder on the
desktop.
3. Go to the class Padlet. The link can be found on Mrs. Hoffpauir’s
Blackboard. Double click on the Padlet and choose from the icon via
attachment and add picture. Include your student nickname.
4. View at least two other pictures and provide comments to support the
drawing and labels or make suggestions. Include your student nickname.
REDEFINITION
Technology allows for the
creation of new tasks that were
previously not conceivable
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
•
I can identify structural
adaptations used for
survival
