Young scholars explain the predator/prey relationship by researching specific examples of birds (predators) and what they eat to survive (prey).

Students identify the relationship between predator and prey in the food chain. In this food chain lesson, students work in groups and play a predator and prey game. Students discover what happens when a predator does not find prey. 

Animals and plants develop relationships and rely on each other to survive. Pupils learn more about symbiosis through a video, a hands-on matching activity, and a game. They differentiate and describe each type on a written evaluation.

Students participate in a prey-predator game. After reading background information, they discover the impact from the changes global warming presents to the polar bears and ringed seals. They role play the role of either the seal or...

Students build a video game on predator-prey relationship. In this biology lesson, students identify the variables that affect this relationship. They write a short description and play each other's game. 

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 activity, but if you have the time to...

Today we are talking about one of the stealthiest, sneakiest, and most intriguing insects of all times, the spider. Learners will examine the predatory nature of these super bugs as they conduct a spider safari survey. Each child will...

Students investigate the predator-prey relationship of owls and raptors. They examine a variety of resources about owls and raptors, develop a list of vocabulary words, dissect owl pellets and identify what owls eat, and play a...

Pupils explore and explain how moon snails eat and where the holes in clamshells come from and then draw conclusion from the data collected. They incorporate math and graphing skills to determine if there is a relationship to a clam's...

In this balance of nature worksheet, students use a data chart to graph wolf and deer populations over a ten-year period. Students use this graph to complete 3 short answer questions.

Students explore predator/prey relationships. They research information on moon snails and claims. Students draw conclusions from the data collected. They use math and graphing to determine if there is a relationship to the clam's size...

Students investigate the food chain by researching the Internet.  For this ecosystem lesson, students view the video "Competitor and Predator" and read a book from the series "The Magic School Bus."  Students utilize a...

Students examine the role of large families in some animal populations. They work together to complete an activity related to food supply. They discover the relationship between preys and predators.

Students explore how predators help control the growth of prey species for a more balanced ecosystem.

Learners watch videos and fill out worksheets about the turtles and their journey to the Costa Rican beach. In this turtles lesson plan, students learn and discuss survival, predator and prey, and stages of development.

Tenth graders analyze the popular fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs" for inaccurate references to wolves. They write a story (or compose a song) that correctly depicts the characteristics, traits and predator-prey relationship of a wolf.

Students analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Students research desert species to find where it lives, what it eats, and what species it interacts with directly. Upon completion of research, students construct a web of all the species as a class. This emphasizes the role each...

Students identify different organisms found in the lake ecosystem. For this life science lesson, students discover the predator-prey relationship through a game. They explain how beavers adapt to the environment over time.

After reading a short paragraph about what makes up a woodland habitat, fifth graders attempt to identify the primary consumers, secondary consumers, and third order consumers in two separate food chain scenarios. They also name a hawk's...

Explore the relationship between the population of foxes and rabbits in a national park using trigonometric models. Plot data and find the appropriate trigonometric functions. Two questions require interpretation and explanation of...

Young scholars define the following terms: predation, competition, carrying capacity and population. They can explain the patterns of growth and the limitations of growth. Students explain the difference between density-dependent and...

Explore food chains in the Amazon Rainforest using this resource. Learners discuss the predator vs. prey relationships in the food chain. Then, they create a food web to describe this relationship. This is a simple and effective way to...

Second graders explore bird classification, specifically owls. They dissect their own owl pellet and explain the predetor and prey relationship.
