Food Webs

Grades 4-6, Approx. 50 minutes

Each individual species is concerned with obtaining energy - energy to  keep going, energy to grow, energy to reproduce, energy for survival. Starting with analyzing their own breakfast, students examine the flow of energy in living systems as represented in food chains and webs. Students discover the role of producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, as they build an actual food web.
