Food web (tactile)

This is an interactive activity for students to create a 'general' food web. The object tiles have both braille and print so students can work together. A non-slip mat can be used to maintain the position of each tile while they're being arranged.

The tiles are two shapes

Hexagons – with braille and print labels
- Sun with a circle and rays coming out
- Producers with a leaf
- Herbivores with a side on elephant
- Carnivores with a side on dog
- Decomposers with a mushroom
- Soil with a dotted line
- Water with a wavy line

Squares – without braille and print labels
- Energy and nutrients with a straight arrow for nutrients and a wavy arrow for energy
- Energy with a wavy arrow
- Nutrients with a straight arrow

Print braille on a vertical face then super glue onto the correct base plate.

The design is based on a nutrient cycle graphic from Wikipedia
