Bell task: Spot the 12 difference Food Chains
What can we eat? • Before we decide what we will eat on our island we need to learn about feeding relationships
Food Webs Learning Objective :To recognise that food chains join to form food webs and to explore the effect of changing food chains on the whole ecosystem Success Criteria • Level 3 –Can order organisms into a food chain • Level 4- Can select a food chain from a food web • Level 5 – Can construct a food web from a selection of food chains • Level 6 – Can predict the effect a change in one food chain on the entire food web (ecosystem)
Starter activity • Learning Objective: to be able to construct food chains • Using the cards provided and working in groups can you build an example of a food chain? • The cards you have are • Sun • Caterpillar • Fox • Oak Tree • Shrew
Card sort answers • Did you get it right? • Remember we connect using arrows and • An arrow shows the direction of energy flow • Add these labels to your food chain: • producer, consumer, predator, prey herbivore, top predator Sun Oak Tree Caterpillar ShrewFox
Food Chains A different food chain. Use it to check your labels are correct. Producer Primary consumer Herbivore Prey Secondary Consumer Predator Prey Tertiary consumer Top Predator Carnivore Wood mouse Barn Owl The sun Oak tree Bark Beetle

Plenary • Now complete the food web given
