Young scholars, in groups, create a model of food chains to create a food web.

Students s identify the different trophic levels in the food chain and understand the importance of the energy cycle. They create a class food web using index cards and yarn and play a predator/prey game.

For this food web study worksheet, learners record how 24 animals get their food. Each animal should categorized as a forager, grazer, filter feeder, parasite, predator, or scavenger on the graphic organizer.

How many animals can live in a climate as cold as Mount Everest's? Find out with a science instructional activity all about biodiversity. Activities include research, presentations, group work, coloring maps, and a simulation of a food web.

Students complete a food chain. In this ecosystem instructional activity, students learn about producers, consumers and decomposers. Students identify herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and complete two worksheets.

Students perform an activity in which they discover what happens when food chains overlap in an ecosystem and discover the three components of a food web.

Students create food chains. For this energy and food chains lesson, students discuss the importance of energy and food in survival of all animals. Students complete a grab bag research activity, construct food chains, and discuss...

After reviewing food chains, your class members participate in an arctic predator-prey game that exemplifies the impact of climate change of food availability. If you are in a hurry, skip this instructional activity, but if you have the...

Krill is a very small ocean animal that is key to keeping the ocean ecosystem going. The class reviews food webs and chains, learns about the importance of krill, discusses krill anatomy, builds a model of a krill, and then has a...

Twenty questions make up an assessment designed to test super scientists' knowledge of ecosystems. Scholars answer multiple-choice and short-answer questions about organisms, food chains, energy flow, and more.

Students familiarize themselves with the common organisms that live in a pond and discover their importance in a balanced aquatic habitat as they create food webs. They also investigate how an environmental change affects the habitat as...

How is energy transferred within an ecosystem? What would happen to a food web if one of the organisms was removed? Elementary or middle school ecologists examine these questions and more in a comprehensive 5E learning cycle lesson....

Fifth graders construct a food web to illustrate how animals and plants are interdependent. In this interdependence lesson, 5th graders identify how consumers, producers, herbivores, carnivores and predators are related in a habitat....

Students study food chains and how the organisms are linked.  For this investigative worksheet students answer food chain questions, and fill out several worksheets.

Learners consider why we eat and where our food obtains its energy. They illustrate food chains that might be found on an open field, dissect owl pellets, identify the remains of animals in the pellets, watch videos and participate in...

Young scholars identify the relationship between predator and prey in the food chain. In this food chain instructional activity, students work in groups and play a predator and prey game. Young scholars discover what happens when a...

Students explore the ecosystem by reviewing scientific vocabulary terms. In this environmental awareness lesson, students identify the differences between abiotic and biotic factors and their relationship to the Earth. Students define...

Students investigate the dietary habits of living organisms by creating a model food chain.  In this food web instructional activity, students define several food chain vocabulary words such as omnivore, carnivore and herbivore....

Producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers. To begin a study of the forest ecosystem, learners examine the connections among the members of ecological communities.

Students understand the importance of each member of a food chain through a game.  In this food chains lesson, students receive background information and then play a game to simulate what happens in the food chain of an endangered...

Young scholars examine the concepts of ecosystems and interdependence. They construct block pyramids to demonstrate interdependence, and map off an area to observe and identify animals. They create food chain mobiles and play a web of...

Students will be able to find out about feeding relationships on a coral reef. They then will be able to develop a food chain and food web using coral reef animals and plants using the Coral Website.

Students study the benefits of estuaries. They construct a saltwater food web, and complete worksheets and a quiz.
