Welcome to my shop! I love being able to help other teachers during the year when they have so many things on their plate.
I have taught both high school and junior high school science. I was also a scientist for a few years before I decided to teach. It made teaching very interesting and the students loved the stories.
I hope I have a little something for you all!

Draw an ecological pyramid with 4 trophic levels. Label the following: tertiary consumer, herbivore, heterotroph, autotroph, primary consumer, apex predator, producer, and secondary consumer.
(Use the food web to answer) Which organism(s) in the food web is a primary consumer? Secondary consumer? Tertiary consumer? Producer? Apex predator?
(Use the food web to answer) Choose one food chain in the food web, list all organisms starting with the producer and ending with the highest-level consumer in that food chain.
(Use the food web to answer) How would the ecosystem change if you removed one apex predator from this food web?
