Name: Ecosystem Model: Food Web & Matter Cycle
Below: Constructs a model that includes fewer than 4 organisms with arrows that are missing or incorrectly directed. Labels 0–1 organisms with trophic roles. Matter-cycle section is absent or shows matter moving in only one direction with no connection to nonliving components. Includes 0–1 annotation notes. The disruption location is not identified on the model.
Meets: Constructs an annotated model that includes a food web with at least 6 organisms across at least 3 trophic levels, with directional arrows correctly showing the direction of energy flow. Labels at least 4 organisms with their trophic role (producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, decomposer). Includes a matter-cycle section tracing at least 2 matter pathways (e.g., carbon and water) connecting at least 3 living organisms to at least 2 nonliving components, with labeled arrows. Includes at least 4 annotation notes that accurately explain what is happening at specific transfer points in the model. Marks the location where the disruption entered the system.
