Turkey Food Web & Energy Pyramid Thanksgiving Science Research - Middle School

Students research the ecosystem of wild turkeys and build their food web and energy pyramid based on the organisms chosen. No-prep, google doc editable activity for Thanksgiving, Autumn / Fall season or for any unit including energy cycles, food cycles and webs, and ecosystems.

Your students will record the turkey's scientific name, prey, predators, habitat (climate, region), and classify the plants/animals by producers, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (omnivores and carnivores), tertiary consumers (carnivores).

Intended to be open-ended research, but students can start off with the turkey's wikipedia page, the Audubon site, and National Geographic.

Answer key included, BUT this assignment will look different for every student depending on the organisms that they choose.
