Ocean ecosystems are dynamic and important for human livelihoods, thus need to be carefully managed.

In this food web activity designed for grades 4-6, participants utilize images of different animals to determine their relationships within an ecosystem, identify predator-prey connections and construct a comprehensive food web.

Students will learn about some of the basic techniques of mapping ecological data and the roles of citizen scientists in ecological conservation.

Participants learn how to identify animals that may live in their environment using “signs”. Then, they will learn how photogrammetry can be used to scan and make digital models out of animal tracks found in nature so that they can be 3D printed.
