The Web of Life

17.  The Web of Life.  The students conduct an exercise (if you look closely you can see the yarn flowing from one person to another) which illustrates the affect each part of the eco-system has on all the others.  Dirt, water, seed, bird, tree, insect, small animal, large animal, humans.  Once the yarn is all used one of the “parts” will pull on their strand, making all other parts react.
