Food Webs

If you like my work, please follow me for more resources and leave a review!

This 1-2 hour lesson teaches pupils about the sensitive nature of food webs. Students first engage in an interactive task in which they must create their own food web using cards and other members of the class. Once the food chain has been ‘found’ they answer questions about their said chain. Pupils then reflect on the difference between a food chain and a food web. Students are taught how energy flows through a food web, before adding arrows to a example, representing predator pray relationships. In the final tasks the idea of interdependence is introduced. Here pupils are required to explain the impact of various changes to a food web.

Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson. Multiple choice checking for understanding slides are included, as well as links and videos to allow pupils to secure their learning at home.
