Animals and their Food Chains

A quick, easy, standalone lesson for pupils in key stage one, lower key stage two or working at an equivalent level.

Resources includes a power point and worksheet.

The power point explains different diets (carnivore, herbivore and omnivore) before going on to explain the main activity and gives opportunities to discuss pupils answers. The power point also introduces a second activity which should be used to discuss food chains and introduces more vocabulary (producer, prey, predator)

The main activity asks pupils to sort animals by their diets.

The second activity presents pupils with a range of animals and asks them to sort them into food chains, matching them with the relevant habitat.
