Objective: Teach young students about habitats and food webs by making animal puppets and acting out food web relationships. Materials:• sticks (tongue depressor style)• glue sticks• animal outline sheets as needed (2 cheetahs, 2 hyenas, 6 zebras, 2 ostriches, 4 gazelles, 2 vultures, and 2 dung beetles)• color animals for making a blackboard food web […]
Energy flows through an ecosystem as plants turn sunlight into the energy they use to grow. The plants are then eaten by animals. The animals are eaten by other animals. When the plants and animals die, they are broken down by detritivore and decomposers (insects, fungi, and bacteria) into organic matter in the soil that […]
To understand the Amazon Rainforest Food Web, first read about the Amazon Rainforest using this link. Then read about the different trophic levels of a typical Food Chain (below). The trophic level is the position that an organism (plant or animal) occupies in a food chain – what it eats, and what eats it. Energy […]
On the Who Eats Who Handout are all the species in a food web and what they eat. You can hand this out to your students or have them research their own species feeding habits to make this activity an interdisciplinary with ELA components. Students can each be responsible for one part of the food […]
