LABEL THE FOOD WEB
1) Label each organism based on its position in the food web:
P = Producer, 1 = Primary Consumer, 2 = Secondary Consumer, 3 = Tertiary Consumer, D = Decomposer (Some may have more than one label.)
2) Then label each animal as: H = Herbivore, C = Carnivore or O = Omnivore
Oak Tree
Squirrel
Owl
Caterpillar
Shrew
Fungi
Mouse
Earthworm
Fox
1) Label each trophic level with:
P for Producer, 1 for Primary Consumer, 2 for Secondary Consumer, 3 for Tertiary Consumer and 4 for Quaternary Consumer
ve
ls
2) Draw or write in the names of organisms for each level. Pick at least two organisms for each level from the list below, or choose
your own. Bear in mind that many organisms can occupy different levels of the pyramid as their diet varies.
(Hint: You might have to look up the diet of some of these organisms!)

Many answers are acceptable. See the Trophic Level Table
from the article to ensure that your student has chosen
correctly. Have the student talk you through the food chain
for different organisms, showing the relationships between
them. Example to the left.
