I will be present to guide the students as they research the animals.

I will be present to walk any of the students that are confused through.

I will be present to assess what the students have learned, and to answer any questions.

Day 1: I will be going over what a trophic level is. I will also be going into great detail about what makes up each level and why it does.

Day 2: Each group will have self reflection time about what animal makes up what trophic level in their specific biome.

Day 3: Each group will decide who gets what level within the group. As a team each group will research information on their animals so that they can explain why they put it on the level they did.

Day 4: This day is consisted of constructing the actual trophic pyramid of the biome assigned to each group.

Day 5: Each group will present their pyramid, each student will explain why there level consists of the animal placed. In front of the other students and the other science classes.
