Paper clips and Mercury
Through this biomagnification activity, we visualize how toxins enter and accumulate in a food chain and study about accumulation in the food web. The top paper clip represent the large fish or bird, pink clips represent for small fish, blue clips for phytoplankton, and green clips for zooplankton, and the gold paper clips represent for mercury. So, through these two pictures; you can see how toxic or mercury the big fish absorb in their body. The top predators are the most dangerous, that's the reason why we shouldn't eat the top predators; especially pregnant women. Because they contain all the mercury from the other smaller creatures.
