Food Chain/Web Part 4 Food Chain/Web Part 4 Create a food web consisting of organisms found in a specific ecosystem. Name organisms, identify abiotic and biotic factors, show the flow of energy in the food web, classify organisms as producer, consumer (primary, secondary, or tertiary), detritivore or decomposer; and indicate impact in that community of removing one species. Label three to five interspecific interactions that occur in within web. Predict with justification what might happen if a component in the food web changes.

Food Web
	Exceeds 5 pts	Meets 4 pts	Does not meet 3 pts	Total (N/A)
Organization 10 %	Exceeds Food web is well-organized and easy to follow.	Meets Food web is somewhat well-organized and challenging to follow.	Does not meet Food webs lacks organization and is very difficult to follow.	Total
Labeling 30 %	Exceeds Two or more representative species are included for producers, primary and secondary consumers and at least one for higher trophic levels (Food Chain only). Detritivores and decomposers are included.	Meets One and two representatives are included for various trophic levels. Detritivores and/or decomposers are included.	Does not meet One representative is included for each trophic level.	Total
Content - Accuracy 20 %	Exceeds All food chain/ web connections displayed are accurate. All energy transfer is correctly labeled.	Meets Most food chain/web connections displayed are accurate. Energy transfer has minor mistakes	Does not meet None or few of the food chain/web connections displayed are accurate. Energy transfer is missing or incorrect.	Total
Abiotic/biotic Factors 10 %	Exceeds Two or three abiotic factors in the Food chain are labeled.	Meets One abiotic factor in the food chain are labeled incorrectly.	Does not meet All of the abiotic factors in the food chain are labeled incorrectly.	Total
Role in Food Chain 20 %	Exceeds All organisms are classified as either a producer, (primary, secondary or tertiary) consumer, or decomposer in the food web.	Meets Some of the organisms are classified as either a producer, (primary, secondary or tertiary) consumer, or decomposer in the food web.	Does not meet None of the organisms are classified as either a producer, (primary, secondary or tertiary) consumer, or decomposer in the food web.	Total
Interspecific interactions 10 %	Exceeds Web contains five or more correctly labeled interactions.	Meets Web contains three or four correctly labeled interactions.	Does not meet Web contains one or two correctly labeled interactions.	Total
