Food Chains

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This simple collection of slides depicts four different food chains, including one for a freshwater habitat. Ideal for primary science learners, the slides employ a combination of photographs and graphics of the sun, plants, and animals. In addition to covering food chains, showing this PowerPoint also provides the opportunity to introduce habitat-related vocabulary terms such as predator and prey.
