Engage students with this huge card sort activity to construct marine food chains and food webs. Use the suggestions to a lead discussion about how human activity affects temperate ocean food webs through climate change and the accidental introduction of invasive species. Use the provided labels to practice key vocabulary by assigning terms such as producer, detritivore, autotroph, etc to ocean organisms.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samuel C. said, "Unlike similar food web resources, there was a table explicitly stating what each animal would eat so I wasn't left guessing. Also had good organism variety."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ J. J. said, "Having the scientific name of the species on the cards lead to a review of taxonomic ranks, which was a nice teachable moment."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Squigglez P. said, "I'm in my first few years of teaching so the suggestions on how to use was really helpful. Thank you."
