Food Chains and Food Webs

In green science we learned about food chains and food webs. We did some different activities with them like played some computer games and made our own food chains on construction paper. This helped to understand what a food chain is and when you take more then one food chain you make a food web. We played the computer games on the smartboard were we took an animal and dragged it into it's correct box. This represented the energy flow from the producer, to the primary consumer, and then to the secondary consumer. Then, we took different food chains together and made a food web. A food web shows how more then one food chain interact with each other and together give energy. Finally, we labeled the order of some food chains on the smart board then cut them out on paper and mounted it on construction paper. This showed us a great visual on what a food chain is.
