detectives at the scene of a crime, study such scant clues to piece together the tale of
America's first settlers. It also highlights the essential role of scientists in
writing the earliest chapters of America's history.

Click and drag the animals, plants, and arrows to form a possible food web.
Arrows should be drawn from food source to food consumers. At the end of this
activity, you can discard excess pictures into the Recycle Bin and then right-click to

pop-up. Bring in your food web for me to see for extra credit!
