Familiarize yourself with the icons above. You will use these in the activity to represent a disruption and its effects on plants or animals in the ecosystem near you.
You will label the icons as part of the activity, so the icon that displays a minnow, for example, can stand for any aquatic prey. Likewise, the fox could represent any land predator, like a bear, should you label it that way.
There are step-by-step instructions to guide you through this activity. After you've completed each step, you can click Instructions to review the next step.
