Food Chains in Your Backyard

A food chain is a useful way to visually organize backyard organisms' interdependence. Similarly, a backyard food web shows how food chains connect within this ecosystem. This comprehensible volume, a valuable addition to any STEM library, will introduce budding scientists to the organisms that may consider their yard--a unique habitat--"home." In fact, plants and animals depend on that space and each other for survival. Interesting photographs, diagrams, and fact boxes add interest to the accessible curricular concepts.
