Students will look at food webs and determine the groups of food chains that are in a given food web. Students will answer comprehension questions throughout this product to ensure understanding and at the end of the product vocabulary review questions are asked.
5. Food Chains and Food Webs File Folder Activity:
In this product, students will label the following vocabulary words with their definitions - food webs, predators, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, 1st level consumers, 2nd level consumers, 3rd level consumers, producers, food chain, photosynthesis, chlorophyll, and decomposers to review or summarize all that they learned about food chains and food webs. Students will also match the vocabulary words - food chain and food web with the correct diagram. Students will then match the following vocabulary words with the photosynthesis diagram to show that they understand the process of photosynthesis - photosynthesis, light energy, carbon dioxide, oxygen, sugar, and water.
6. Food Chains and Food Webs Project:
In this product, students will have the opportunity to complete 2 projects - a food chain and and food web project. Students will cut out the pictures and will glue them on a poster board to make a good chain and a food web. When students have completed the food chain and food web project, there are 2 rubrics that will rate the students on each project. Rubric categories include the food chain/web display, food chain/web labeling, and staying on task.
