Description
In this activity you will watch a short video to learn about biomagnification — the process by which certain chemicals become more concentrated as they move up a food chain. Then you will use an online interactive simulation to explore how the pesticide DDT accumulates in organisms in a simplified aquatic food chain, from phytoplankton up to pelicans. Answer key included.
