Food chains foldable sequencing 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:

• Template 1: Colour the food chain template and food chain stages, cut and fold.
• Template 2: Color the template and food chain stages, arrange the stages in order, glue, cut, and fold.
• Template 3: Colour the template, draw/write a 3-stage food chain for that habitat in the boxes, cut, and fold.
• Template 4: Colour the template, draw/write a 4-stage food chain for that habitat in the boxes, cut, and fold.

In addition, you’ll find a blank template included that you can use for any habitat.

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.

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