Go to http://education.nationalgeographic.com/encyclopedia/food-web/ and read the entire encyclopedia entry.
Read the following article: http://e360.yale.edu/feature/fifty_years_after_rachel_carsons_silent_spring_assacult_on_science_continues/2544/
After reading both articles and watching the video, think about what we have learned about food webs in relation to what you have just learned about bioaccumulation.
Create a food web showing the path of DDT through an ecosystem. Make sure to include producers, primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers as well as aquatic and terrestrial species and show the path of DDT through the ecosystem. Write up one paragraph (250 words) summarizing what you learned about the relationship between DDT, bioaccumulation, and food webs.
