- Deep sea vent (abyssal zone)
- Chaparral
- Temperate rainforest

You should create (via drawing, sculpting, crafting, or using a computer program) an original food web diagram. You can print images to use in your diagram but you must create your own diagram and include your name and date on your creation. Look at an example below.
You must include organisms that represent the following categories for the members of your web:
- 2 primary consumers
- 2 secondary consumers
- 1 tertiary consumer
- main producer(s)
- detritivore(s)
- decomposer(s)
Each organism should be labeled with their name and category (producer, detritivore, etc.)
