Return to your spot from yesterday!

Today, in addition to your single spot observations, look around for evidence of food web activity (e.g., a bird eating a worm, a caterpillar eating a plant, etc.).

Reflect on the food web that extends in multiple directions from this observed activity. Write out or draw the multi-directional food web interactions that are potentially part of the activity that you observed.

If you care to, spend some time researching the food web interaction that you observed, and include that research as part of your write up or drawing.
