This tutorial review over food chains and how energy is transferred through them.

This activity allows students to make a simple model food chain and observe how toxic chemicals can become concentrated in the bodies of consumers at the top of the chain.

For this lesson, students learn about marine food webs and pyramids, and how energy flows through a marine ecosystem. They then research a marine organism and its role in a marine food web. The class pools their information to create a...

Students construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores and decomposers.

A suite of lessons focusing on the process of upwelling. Inquiry-based exploration of seasonal upwelling includes marine food webs, food production in the ocean, wind-driven ocean currents, and seasonal changes in biotic and abiotic...

Fourth graders will be able to name some plants and animals that live in Utah's desert, forest or wetland ecosystems.

Starts with living and non living and works through producers, consumers, food chains and food webs.

A lesson that helps students understand food chains and food webs. With the background information, interactive activity, and extensions, students will see the interconnectedness and interdependence of organisms. Activity has students...

In this unit students explore major marine ecosystems by locating them on maps. Students use marine examples to learn about energy transfer through food chains and food webs and then they discuss how food webs can illustrate the health...

Answer these ten interactive questions about ecological feeding relationships by choosing the correct image that completes each food chain.

Work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos that directly address standard 5-PS3-1: food energy from the sun.

Students learn about the feeding relationships in an estuary ecosystem with this interactive energy pyramid activity. A second activity involves research and a video clip to elaborate the learning.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Energy must constantly flow through an ecosystem for the system to remain stable. What exactly does this mean? Essentially, it means that organisms must eat other...

Explains the characteristics of food chains and food web; the different levels of producers, consumers, and decomposers; and the differences between food chains and food webs. Includes charts and a Venn diagram comparing the two.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on food webs that explains the difference between food webs and food chains, and the relationships that exist between organisms.

Learn how energy is passed along through living things in a food chain and web.

Read about the different predators, consumers, and producers that make up an ocean food chain.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on food chains that explains how energy flows through the chain, beginning with plants.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the marine food chain.

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text explaining important vocabulary involving the food chain. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

Use this TED Ed lesson, complete with video, questions, and links to resources for deeper understanding, to introduce the food chain.

Learn how energy is transferred through the food chain.

This lesson will explain how to create a food web to show transfer of energy within a community. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Food Webs."

Understand environments and how organisms adapt to their environment.
