This is a great activity to do with your class. It can be done as a group on the smart board, with kids coming up one at a time to make a connection––this is how we did it. Or, if you have enough computers for all of the kids, it can be done individually. There are review questions at the end, which, again, can be answered together as a class, or individually. I'm really glad I found this.

| You start with all of the animals separated. You drag the arrows towards the thing it eats. |

| Our final food web. You can move the circles around to make it easier to see. |
One last thing. I like this a lot because you can see just how involved, complicated, and messy food webs are. They really are like a spiders web, and can go multiple directions. The kids see that even though they are making simple connections from one species to another, the result is a more complex system.
