This WebQuest is intended for a Advanced Placement Biology class. It was created to be completed as a summer assignment which allows students to work outside of class, with very little class time devoted to the WebQuest. Students are allowed to choose their own groups to allow for them to get together outside of school to do their work, however, almost all of this can be completed over the Internet and e-mail.

Students will complete this WebQuest after learning the basics of ecology over the summer. The following is a list of vocabulary list of all the terms students are required to know in order to complete this successfully.

ecosystem
food chain/food web
producer
primary consumer
secondary and tertiary consumer
decomposer
pyramid of energy

The original idea for this WebQuest came from an Access Excellence Activity by Karin Westerling.
