A food web is a way of seeing how energy is transferred from organism to organism. All living things need energy. They use it to move, to grow, to reproduce. That energy has to come from someplace. Drawing a food web is a great way to get an idea of how that energy is captured by producers, and passed from organism to organism. It helps us see that even things that we usually don't like, such as weeds and mosquitos, play an important role in the ecosystem.
This week's experiment is another that I did as a child. I must warn you that if you are afraid of spiders, you may not want to try this experiment. If you do, you may never leave the house again.
After the Blue Heron drive, I headed towards Merritt Island, planning to take the Black Point Drive. When I got there, they were paving the road, so I went to the BioLab road instead. Heading north on Hwy 3, you will see a sign for the BioLab. Take that road and watch on the right for BioLab road. It is a narrow, gravel road that winds along the water's edge, giving you brackish water on one side, and fresh water marsh on the other.
The day started out wonderfully. I presented my Energy program at a summer camp for homeless students in South Florida. They were a marvelous group, and I had a blast. On my way home, I took some time out for some nature photography. There were scattered showers along the way, which gave me some nice lightning to watch, as well as a beautiful rainbow.
