Understanding food webs can help us understand the interactions between different species in our oceans. In this lesson, students will work in small teams to build food chains using animals commonly found in Long Island Sound. Using each food chain, students will work together to build a larger food web model and observe the complex relationships that exist between and within the simpler food chains.

Labs taught at Project Oceanology take place over 2.5 hours so this program plus one additional lab of your choosing will be taught.

Labs taught at your location will take place during the school day. The timing will depend on the number of classes/sections in your grade level or course. One lab program is taught per visit.
