Mrs. E. Winter’s 7th grade science class is learning about Populations and Ecosystems! To practice food chains and food webs in an ecosystem, students decorated pumpkins. Students drew assignments for a role: producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer or tertiary consumer and drew an example of that role on their pumpkin. We had beautifully drawn sharks, snails, mice, snakes….. and some not as beautifully decorated too! Once the pumpkins were done, we used arrows to demonstrate how food webs and food chains are constructed. A HUGE thanks to Sue and Norval Stewart for the donation of the pumpkins; we appreciate their commitment to helping provide engaging lessons for our local students!
