Students study life science. In this food webs and food chains comparison lesson, students examine the wetlands to discover the relationships that exist between the animals that live there. They participate in group activities and...

Students discuss the characteristics of producers, consumers and decomposers. Using a flow chart, they construct a food chain to visually show how organisms with different energy sources depend upon one another. Students explore a...

Learners study food chains and how the organisms are linked.  In this investigative worksheet students answer food chain questions, and fill out several worksheets.

Students explore biology by participating in a dietary habit activity. In this food chain lesson, students discuss their own diets and the animals we feed upon daily. Students create a poster demonstrating the animals that we feed upon...

Students investigate the effects of the food chain on all animals by creating a food web.  In this seafood instructional activity, students discuss energy flow and research a specific marine organism of their choice.  Students...

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.

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 investigate the food chain. For this ecology lesson, students define producers and consumers. Learners use organism cards to demonstrate how the food chain works.

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 plan, 3rd graders talk about organisms, the food chain, and the difference between producers and consumers. They complete review...

With the forest as an example, Sam and Zoe talk about the components biotic and abiotic of an ecosystem. They also discuss the role of producers, consumers, and decomposers. This concise clip covers all of the basics. As an introduction...

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...

Learners investigate how all links in the food chain are related. In this animal habitat lesson, students hypothesize about what would happen in the food chain if an endangered species were to become extinct. This lesson also includes an...

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.

In this unit of lessons, learners examine land quality issues. They discover food chains and practice reading them. They also examine the erosion of soil and how it affects the environment.

Students identify producers and consumers and construct a food chain from four marine ecosystems. They describe the delicate balance among organisms in each environment. In groups, students discuss the human activities that upset the...

Students explore energy and nutrient flow. In this science lesson, students diagram the flow of energy through food chains and food webs. Students discuss the importance of energy flow in Earth's ecosystems.

Students make lists of producers and consumers and act as consumers that eat producers in a garden. In this producers and consumers lesson plan, students demonstrate a food chain by using a piece of yarn to connect all of them together.

In this food chains worksheet, students write the food chains in the 3 examples in the order of producer, predator, and prey.

Packed with visual aids and multiple learning opportunities, an engaging exercise challenges individuals as they explore the role of producers, consumers, and decomposers. After discussing differences between food chains, food...

Entangle your life science class in learning with this collaborative food web activity. Using pictures of the plants and animals native to a particular ecosystem, young biologists work in small groups to construct visual...

Sixth graders discuss and describe consumers and producers. They discuss and describe predator-prey relationship. Students review food chains. They form a circle, and each student is given an ecosystem card. Student at the top is given...

A food web consists of complex food chains and the more complex the web, the better likelihood of survival. Learners compare and contrast food webs and food chains and discuss concepts like the predator-prey and consumer-producer...

In this living environment worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 34 clues about the various species in the environment that produce, consume and decompose. Topics also include photosynthesis, respiration, glucose, organic...
