Connections The web of life List all the inputs and the outputs for a common plant or animal (different groups could take different plants/animals), get creative, see how many inputs/outputs you can list. Draw the connections with other plants and animals, can you draw it into a closed loop system where all the outputs become inputs for something else?
Connections The web of life List all the inputs and the outputs for a common human food (e.g. a can of juice), get creative, see how far you can go back (with inputs) and how far you can go forward (with outputs). Can you make it (this food or a replacement for it) a closed loop system (where the outputs from one thing become inputs for something else)?
