Extensions for Students

Print version of "Bay and Pond Food Webs": PDF • Word

Cut out the pictures of Bay animals and plants drawn in Session 1, and create a bulletin board that illustrates the Bay food web.
Organize all the data collected at the pond, and display it with students' graphs.
Make a chart comparing similarities and differences between Bay and pond food webs or Bay and pond organisms. (See Preparing Graphs and Charts in the Project Action Guide.)
Take a field trip to Lake Anna State Park or another state park to learn more about animal footprints and pond ecosystems, as in the activities "Whose Clues," "Little Limnologist," and "Pond Scum" (see Resources).
