Food Chains
Learners take a look at the relationship between organisms in food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids. After an opening demonstration by the teacher, pupils are split up into groups. Each one is assigned an environment such as:...

Food Chain Activities
Transform young biologists into grasshoppers, lizards, and hawks as you teach them about food chains in an interactive life science simulation. Working collaboratively to act out three different scenarios involving...
Exploring Nature Educational Resources
Building A Classroom Food Web
From bears and owls to chipmunks and trees, all life depends on the sun for the energy to survive. Young biologists develop an understanding of this big idea as they arrange this series of plant and animal picture cards into food...
Curated OER
Food Chains
Fourth graders study food chains, producers, consumers, and decomposers. They play a food chain game and create food chain mobiles or posters. They take a nature hike around the school and observe various parts of a food chain.
Curated OER
Focus on Food Chains
Third graders collect and analyze data about food chains. They conduct Internet research about the habitat of a selected organism, write a narrative, and create a computer slideshow using Kid Pix computer software that illustrates the...
Curated OER
Prairie Food Chains & Webs
Students complete a food chain. In this ecosystem lesson, students learn about producers, consumers and decomposers. Students identify herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and complete two worksheets.
Curated OER
Food Chain Game
Learners explore animal characteristics by participating in a role-play activity. For this food chain lesson, students discuss the order of life and how animals must eat other animals to survive. Learners conduct a food chain game in...
Curated OER
Striking a Balance
Students explore the many different food chains. They participate in a game in which the class is divided into the different parts of the food chain.
Curated OER
Striking a Balance
Students demonstrate understanding of food chain by assuming roles of animals, playing tag, and simulating feeding relationships.
Curated OER
Fourth Grade Science
In this science worksheet, 4th graders answer multiple choice questions about coastlines, electric cars, the food chain, and more. Students complete 25 questions.
Curated OER
Food Chains
Students create their own food chains on Kidspiration starting from the energy of the sun and what it creates. In this food chains lesson plan, students learn about how insects eat plants and so on.
Curated OER
Insects: Grasshoppers
Students examine grasshoppers as they practice following instructions. In this biology lesson plan, students identify the characteristics of grasshoppers and the functions of grasshoppers' external body parts.
Curated OER
Arctic Food Web
Young scholars research animals found in the arctic. They discuss what living things need in order to survive and where they get their food. Students discuss the difference between producers and consumers and create a food web for...
Curated OER
Food Chains
Fourth graders investigate food chains. They review cycles and discuss ecosystems. They select an environment and create a food chain in small groups. They write their food chain and label it for the class to evaluate. They create...

7th Science Quiz
This seventh grade life science quiz has a professional appearance and well-written multiple-choice questions. However, it seems to cover too broad a variety of biology topics for only 15 questions to fully assess. There is one question...
Curated OER
Munching on Mixtures
Third graders view the food Power Tower and discuss the food groups. In this food lesson plan, 3rd graders cut out favorite foods from magazines. Students read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and record the foods they would...
Curated OER
Striking a Balance
Young scholars simulate animals in a food chain. In this food chain lesson plan, students are identified as grasshoppers, frogs or hawks. Popcorn is spread across a lawn and young scholars are given baggies (stomachs) and colored sashes...
Curated OER
The Effects of Pesticides on the Food Chain
Fourth graders generalize that all animals, including people, depend on plants as a food source. In this science lesson plan, 4th graders describe and construct a food chain, tell how pesticides enter the food chain, and discuss possible...
Curated OER
Munching on Mixtures
Students predict, observe, and record what grasshoppers eat to demonstrate an understanding that grasshoppers and people have nutritional requirements to grow and maintain good health.
Curated OER
The Web of Life - Ecosystem
Students 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 life game.
Curated OER
The Ant and the Grasshopper
In this cause and effect practice instructional activity, students read a brief written piece about an ant and a grasshopper. Students then write a cause and effect on each map.
Curated OER
A Wild Chain Reaction
Students explore habitats. In this habitat instructional activity, students break into groups and are labeled as a part of a habitat. Students then do an activity with yarn that shows how all of the parts are connected...
Curated OER
The Chain Gang
Students perform a food chain simulation to determine what happens when a food chain is broken.
