Since our field trip to the Pearce Estate Constructed Wetland, we have been working in our visual sketchbooks to demonstrate what we viewed and learned while we were there. Two big concepts we are coming to understand about the wetland ecosystem are the importance of wetlands and the interconnectedness of all living things. We created a “web of life” in our class today by physically connecting producers, 1st and 2nd order consumers (herbivores and carnivores) and decomposers. Students had to attend to who ate whom before a connection could be made. Can you recall a food chain that was created? Which plants and animals were you connected to? Can you explain what happened to our web after the duckweed disappeared?
