Animal Pictures For use in having students build a field page guide, or to be cut out and assigned one per student to figure out the food web by tossing a string from the top down to show predation---or from the bottom up to show bioaccumulation.
Elk graph Each student is assigned a numbered chart segment to transcribe to scale. When all segments are complete a puzzle will be assembled to reveal a lifesize elk. Ideally---cut elk apart and hand each student one or two ¾ inch squares to replicate, so they don't know what the final picture will show. Students start with an 8.5 inch square of copy paper. Great math activity---or teambuilder.
