Terms like “bio” and “di” are sometimes great building blocks to understand grander words like..bioaccumulation…

Number Two

Consider the following metaphor

Lets think of stuff that should not be in your room..say a plate or dish. If I asked each of you what was in your room it may be a small amount. If we added all of the rooms together what happens to the amount of plates? If we did a survey of several high school student’s rooms what would happen to the number of plates?

On the back of your 2.3 sheet try to construct both a food pyramid and a food web.
