Build the food chain!

Build the food chain!

Fitting Algae Into the Food Web The food web you created in the food web game was one that is found in the Antarctic. As you might imagine, a food web in the tropics looks very different from the one you created. Environmental conditions (temperature, light, nutrients) are different in the two areas, so it would make sense that the organisms that live in those areas might be different also. Divide into groups to create your own food web games. 1) The west coast of South Africa - This is an area often associated with phytoplankton blooms.
