The Web of Life has many "elements" that depend upon each other.

With a group of other students, draw a web showing relationships between the following “elements”; rabbits, field mice, squirrels, coyotes, hawks, grasses, seeds, trees, other plants, water.
Share your web with your class.
Optional: Design a web with different “elements” common to your area.
