As a part of the OpenSciEd Ecosystems and Matter Cycling unit, students in Ms. Gartman's class engaged in a food web activity. 5th grade students took on roles of different producers, consumers, and decomposers in the nurse log system. They created a food web as they passed the blue yarn to represent matter being passed among organisms. Students had fun and learned an important concept!
