Find teacher approved Carnivore educational resource ideas and activities
Learners complete pre reading, writing, and post reading activities for the book Carnivorous Plants. In this guided reading lesson plan, students complete writing, go over vocabulary, answer short answer questions, have discussions, and more.
Students research different species of meat-eating animals in their natural environments to create a Carnival of Carnivores exhibit for their classroom.
This is a student-created PowerPoint about carnivorous plants. The first slide describes where they can be found. The next two slides consist of long lists of different types of carnivorous plants. Slide five displays photos of some of these plants. The creator also addresses how they catch food, the difficulty of cultivating, and traits of three different more common varieties. This is not a resource that you would use for teaching about these unusual organisms, but it could be shown as an example should you want to assign presentation creation to your class.
Students identify various types of animal skulls and teeth. In this ecology activity, students define the terms herbivore, omnivore, and carnivore and study animal teeth and skulls. Students observe the characteristics of the teeth and identify what kind of diet the animal consumed.
Students research carnivorous plants and how they trap insects. They role play as botanists to write a research field guide about a newly discovered imaginary carnivorous plant.
Students examine how carnivorous plants get their nutrients from animals. In this food web lesson students examine how the plants attract their prey and are given many onilne sources to research.
In this reading comprehension check worksheet, students read an article titled " Carnivorous Plant Facts" and then 5 short answer and graphic organizer questions.
Here is a practical activity for reinforcing understanding of energy flow in ecosystems. Learners identify whether each organism in a list is a producer or decomposer. They tell if each is an herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, or detritivore. Then they construct a food web using those organisms. A follow-up page of 10 analysis questions is included. A splendid assignment for your biology or environmental science class!
Fourth graders read "Habitat: What Animals Need to Live" then create a Venn diagram for herbivore, omnivore, and carnivore. In this animal survival lesson, 4th graders determine where different animals need to live depending on what they eat, and summarize what elements are needed for survival (food, water, shelter, space).
Learners study the distribution of large mammals and carnivores in an ecosystem. Using maps and historical data, they examine areas for these animals such as refuges, untouched forests, prairies and grasslands. Students determine actions necessary to protect animals and their lands.
