[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart provides some examples to help distinguish between a carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore.

This lesson teaches students the three different types of diets animals may have - herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore.

Students learn about energy and nutrient flow in various biosphere climates and environments. They learn about herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, food chains and food webs, seeing the interdependence between producers, consumers and...

Investigate the interdependence of wildlife in the Yellowstone ecosystem and draw an ecosystem showing the interdependence of life forms.

How would you define an ecosystem? Check out this educational resource to learn more about the living and nonliving parts of different ecosystems.

Ecosystems contain two kinds of commodities: matter (nutrients) and energy. Nutrients cycle through the ecosystem, available for repeated use by organisms. These cycles of use and reuse are called biogeochemical cycles. Energy instead is...

Create the parameters of your own ecosystem by choosing which producers and consumers live there. Visualize how the food web operates and species populations change. This simulator mimics the food web within a typical ecosystem and gives...

Students explore the biosphere's environments and ecosystems, learning along the way about the plants, animals, resources and natural cycles of our planet. Over the course of lessons 2-6, students use their growing understanding of...

An interactive online game to explore what animals eat.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart focuses on how plants and animals get energy and different habitats.

In this lab, students will complete a field study about feeding relationships between organisms and present their findings in a food web as well as in a written narrative.

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

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.

At this site students are encouraged to try and answer questions that relate to what animals eat. At the bottom of the web page are beautiful pictures of land and sea animals and when selected, students will be able to read short facts...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Through this flipchart students will be able to summarize and organize simple food chains.

Lesson plan to construct and explain a food chain. Includes games and activities to teach and reinforce concepts.

Learners will use a card sorting activity to construct a food chain and identify the role of organisms within that chain. The cards represent different individuals in an ecosystem and will help students begin to understand the concepts...
