Food chains foldable seqeuncing activities cut and paste for KS1 science

These differentiated science foldable activities make learning about food chains fun!

Children can sequence plants and animals for different food chains before cutting out their templates and folding them. The finished results are ideal for an interactive science notebook or whole-class display.

There are two resources in this food chains bundle.

**Rainforest, Woodland and ocean habitat food chains **

For each habitat, there are 4 options included:

• Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included and fold.

• Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold.

• Pupils draw their own food chain on a black and white template, cut and fold.

• Pupils draw their own food chain on a pre-coloured template, cut and fold.

Food chains animal head foldouts

This resource has templates for 4 food chains (lion, grizzly bear, shark and snake).

Each template, excluding the snake, has 2 similar designs (one for easy cutting) and all have 2 label options (one set includes the words ‘producer’ and ‘consumer’). Just choose the template(s) that works best for your children.

• Lion: 3-stage food chains (grass, zebra, lion)
• Shark: 4-stage food chain (seaweed, fish, seal, shark)
• Bear: 4-stage food chain (algae, shrimp, salmon, grizzly bear)
• Snake: 4-stage food chain (leaf, snail, frog, snake)

Children colour the animal template and food chains stages, sequence the stages, glue, cut and fold.

Once folded, pupils can hide their food chain by bringing the 2 halves of the template together, then gently pull apart to reveal the inside (see preview video).

There is minimal prep required. Print the designs you plan to use on paper or card. Students need coloured pencils, scissors and glue.
