Who's on Top? Building a Food Chain

Trace pollutants through the environment in the seventh lesson of this series on the science of food. Looking at a picture of the plants and animals in an aquatic ecosystem, learners use dot stickers to represent harmful chemicals as...

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...

Students define food chains, recognize fossil park food chains and discuss man's impact on food chains. In this food chain activity, students participate in activities to diagram a food chain and understand the impact of humans on the...

Here is an extremely simplistic look at food chains and webs. It depicts three different food chains, each containing a plant, plant eater, and meat-eater. Learners fill in the missing part of each chain by using the images provided at...

Learners practice remaining on topic during a conversation using printouts of chains as visual models for their work. Chains are placed in sequence while students stay on a shared topic of conversation, and a broken chain is used as a...

Students study food chains. In this science lesson, students build a food chain that follows the path of the sun's energy through an ecosystem. Students discuss food chains as well as consumers and producers.

Students discover the connection between plants and animals by discussing simple food chains. Students explore what may happen when parts of a food chain are removed. Students wrap up the lesson by writing a story about a food chain.

Students explore the animals of Antarctica and the Antarctic food chain. They draw pictures of animals to include in a wall collage. Students illustrate the ecosystem's food web and discuss the importance of krill to the Antarctic...

Students gain a better understanding of what it means to eat seasonally through learning about traditional hunting, gathering, and food preparation methods of Athabascan tribes. By interacting with Native American Elders and...

Young scholars examine the habitat of the chaparral community. They identify the trophic levels in the food chain, view an interactive graphic on the computer, and identify the plants and animals represented in the chaparral community.
