3. Why is a rainforest’s food web so important in keeping the rainforest healthy?
4. Working by yourself or in a group, have a go at creating your own rainforest food web
using the pictures, descriptions and arrows provided below.
Remember that:
• Producers make their own food often from the sun’s energy and come at the bottom of
the food web.
• Consumers eat producers for their food.
• Decomposers break down plant and animal material.
Draw or glue your food web below. Use lines and arrows to show how the different
plants, animals and insects rely on each other.
