WILD ANIMALS
  • Use the book you were assigned in class to gather the majority of your information. Make sure you cite it in Noodletools! It is a required source.
  • For websites, use only authoritative websites (not Wikipedia, Answers.com, etc.) and cite each one you use. 
Helpful Websites
Food Chain/Web
One of the more difficult pieces of information to find for your project is your animal's food chain/web. This is because most sources will not just state that information; rather, you will need to read, infer, and piece together elements to make a cohesive and sensible food chain/web. Some things to consider:
  • Your animal may be at the bottom of the chain, the top of the chain, or somewhere in the middle. This is fine.
  • Remember, the arrows in your chain/web point to WHO is DOING THE EATING (ex: orca < shrimp, means "Orca eats shrimp)
  • Only living things should be on your food chain/web (no sun!)
  • Humans should not appear on your chain/web. Although humans are to blame for many animals' deaths (through poaching, etc.), they do not belong on a food chain/web
  • Totally lost? Try starting with a Google search like "Orca food chain" or "Orca food web." 
    • Images can be helpful too. Just make sure the image is from a reliable source
    • Make sure to click on the link for the website on the image preview to take you to the website where the image is found
    • This will help you determine if it's a credible source and help for when you need to cite the website
