In this Looking at Food Chains worksheet, students read about a food chain under the sea and underline important information. Next, students fill in a graphic organizer about food chains based on the information they just read.

As part of a study of food chains and food webs, class members complete a series of worksheets that trace a marine chain from producers to consumers or decomposers. After studying a food chain example, young marine biologists make up...

In this biology worksheet, students read about food chains and food webs. They then answer 4 questions regarding the information they just learned. The answers are on the last page in the packet.

For this rain forest worksheet students choose an animal and research how it survives. Students answer 3 questions. Students then draw a chart that shows the food chain of this animal.

Students explore animal characteristics by participating in a role-play activity. In this food chain lesson, students discuss the order of life and how animals must eat other animals to survive. Students conduct a food chain game in...

Second graders examine the interdependence of organisms using the book "Go To Sleep, Gecko!" They examine a variety of food chains, listen to the book, and answer story comprehension questions. Students then conduct research on food...

What can young scientists discover from dissecting an owl pellet? Explore the owl food chain, beginning with an introduction to these predatory birds. Suggested strategies here include creating a podcast and purchasing a poster, however...

Students explore our ecosystem by researching animal eating habits. In this food chain instructional activity, students identify the links between predator and prey and the energy that passes between organisms based on what their diet...

Students 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...

Use this multidisciplinary instructional activity to delve into these subjects: English language arts, math, science, drama, and character education. After reading, discussing, and making interpretations about Go To Sleep, Gecko!: A...

Students recognize that some animals eat plants, some eat meat and some both.  In this who eats who lesson plan, students chart animals in a food chain.  Students research information from reading articles.  Students chart...

Students investigate hunters and prey by creating a food web.  In this animal life lesson plan, students investigate a single organism in preparation for a field trip, discovering its diet and habitat.  Students each discuss...

Learners explore frogs.  In this cross curriculum literacy and frogs lesson, students predict the plot and then listen to the book The Wide-Mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner. Learners define "predator" and identify foods a frog might...

Here's a fine lesson that combines poetry with life sciences. Learners carefully listen to a poem that's all about a food chain. As the poem is read, learners name the producer, the herbivore, the carnivore, and the omnivore. Lots of...

Marine biology masters will meet the horseshoe crab and red knot shore birds that feast upon the crab eggs. Begin with a discussion and then have learners write postcards from each animal detailing their migration trips. A few math...

An ecosystem is really just the flow of energy through many different living organisms. A study of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book leads to an environmental science activity in which learners study how various factors can affect...

Students investigate the effect of climate change on animal population in Nova Scotia. In this environmental science instructional activity, students complete a Nova Scotia map activity and research the causes of global warming in small...

Seventh graders cut and paste animal pictures to create a food web and trace the path of energy. They write a paragraph explaining the importance of photosynthesis in all food webs.

Students identify animals observed by Lewis and Clark while evaluating the animal's habitat and describing the animal's behavior. Students construct a food web mobile to illustrate the animal's position in the food web in the 19th...

The ways that animals adapt to their environments is quite remarkable. For this life science lesson, fifth graders take a look at some of the ways that aquatic animals that live in Arctic or Antarctic waters survive. They perform an...
