Science Week in 5W
Klarissa, Keira and Samuel from Year 9 came to our classroom on Friday of Science Week to talk about food webs. We learnt that if one animal became extinct many other of animals would too. We used string to make the web. We each had a piece of string and they told us that if one person dropped their string the entire web would collapse. That then showed us how all parts of the web need to be cared for otherwise extinction would eventually happen.

The Year 9 students came to our class to show us all about food webs and how they work. The three students were Keira, Klarissa and Samuel. Firstly, they handed us pieces of paper with names of a tree or an animal. Then they gave us a string to connect to someone else’s animal or tree. It was to show us how the two things connect to the environment. For example, koalas eat the leaves from a eucalyptus tree to survive. They also showed us that if one thing disappears like grass the animal that eats the grass would die and the animals that eat the animals that eat the grass would also die and so on. It would collapse the entire food web. What a disaster that will be!
