Year 5 and Year 6 science plan food chains

This could work if the fair test aspect was removed and replaced with an observation sheet. then the children could look for plants that are providers, small insects that are feeding off the plants then any evidence of predators (spiders or birds). Not every science investigation is a 'fair test' with variables that need to be identified.

unsure of purpose

I may have missed something but what are the pupils investigating here? I assume it has something to do with slugs. Pooters?

Thank you for sharing. Tried this with my class last week. Really fun, hands on activity. Children really enjoyed the lesson.
