Students explore our ecosystem by researching animal eating habits. In this food chain instructional activity, students identify the links between predator and prey and the energy that passes between organisms based on what their diet...

Students create an individual menu for one of their peers. They must examine their peer's activity level and family history.

High schoolers describe factors that influence one's food choices, explain how food choices reflect one's culture and ethnic background, identify ways that family members and friends may affect one's food decisions and preferences, and...

Students recognize interdependence in a food web by using yarn and notecards to create a food web and discussing what would happen if one of the organisms from a certain trophic level is removed.

Students measure the calorie content of food. In this technology activity, students explore where the CEENBoTs get the energy to make it move. They create a Venn diagram showing the differences of energy in food and CEENBoTs.

Students read and interpret nutrition fact labels ("food labels") from food products, a task that involves the use of various mathematics skills (e.g., number concepts and number sense).

How does nature's hierarchy relate to our local human environment? Answer this question, along with others, as the class visually depicts the natural hierarchy provided by nature. Pupils discuss each piece of the pyramid and its energy...

In this energy flow worksheet, students will complete 10 short answer questions based on a food web diagram. Then students will review different cycles in nature including the water cycle, carbon cycle, and energy cycle. This worksheet...

Learners examine how food webs illustrate the ways in which organisms depend on each other for energy and nutrients, and make food webs showing the feeding relationships among organisms encountered in the Gal??pagos coastal waters.

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.

Sixth graders explore process of drying food using solar energy. They cook and/or dry food such as pumpkins, watermelon, corn, and deer meat, explain how solar energy changes foods, and compare and contrast solar energy with other forms...

Students research rainforest animals and use that information to make a flow chart to show the order in which energy is transferred through several organisms. They label the producers, consumers, and decomposers in their chart.

Students identify each level of the food pyramid and keep a record of their food intake.  In this food pyramid lesson plan, students relate the food pyramid to the Gaza Pyramids.  Students discuss the purpose and plan of the...

Students investigate how much energy is used during different athletic activities. They conduct Internet research to obtain information on the top three athletic sporting events from around the world, and calculate the calories burned...

Fourth graders explore relationships among organisms involved in ocean food chains to investigate interdependence of the organisms.

In this energy cycle worksheet, students will write in examples for each trophic level in an energy cycle: top, middle, and lowest levels.

Students create a bulletin board display illustrating food chains they make from a list of ocean organisms. Students also play a game showing what happens when one of the organisms is removed from the food chain and how they are all...

Students list at least 10 different food items grown/produced in their community, identify what each food item contains and make a list of different food items which constitute a balanced diet. They bring in food samples and write food...

Students examine the Food Guide Pyramid, then keep daily food journals. They evaluate their current nutritional habits and create plans for developing healthier eating habits.

Learners explore food chains in the forest. In this food chain lesson, students listen to the story The Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed-Jones. They create a food chain to match the story and then create a food chain of...

Learners identify and explain the relationships within a food web. They use index cards to glue pictures of producers and consumers. On the back of the card, students name the organism, list the type of biome in which it is found.

Second graders examine how food chains interact with different plants and animals. They practice using new vocabulary. They also discover the role of pesticides in the environment.

Third graders discuss producers, consumers, and the food chain. In this producers and consumers lesson, 3rd graders talk about organisms, the food chain, and the difference between producers and consumers. They complete review worksheets...

There are so many topics touched upon in this Jeopardy-style science game, that it is difficult to classify! The categories include electricity, matter, ecology, earth and space, and scientific investigation. This would best be used at...
