Food Chains

Ok so lets get started!

1. After your teacher has assigned you to a group you will need to find the answers to the questions asked  using the web resources or books given.  Look at the attachment below labeled "group assignment" and see what you are needing to research; tomorrow you will be filling the class in on the following information, so be sure it is accurate! There are links below to help you find the answers needed as well as books in the back of the classroom.

 2. Now that you have built up some background knowledge on food chains, you will be assigned with a partner or a group of 3 to complete your tic-tack-toe board.  You have 8 choices possible, but can only choose 3.  Remember to be a tic-tack-toe it needs to be 3 IN A ROW! You may not pick at random! Be sure  you and your partners agree upon what you would like to do.  I have examples of each so ask if you would like to look at them! Below are more links you might find helpful. Remember you will be presenting to the class.  * If you would like to work alone please let the teacher know.
