Here’s a simple powerpoint for yr 7 or 8 pupils to learn about the difference between a food chain and a food web.
I’ve used this resource for a 50 minute lesson.
Learning objectives:
Describe what food chains show
Describe what food webs show
Pupils learn about how light intensity, temperature, wind speed, and humidity affect the rate of transpiration. At the end, there's a creative writing exercise.
Here's a resource for ks3 and ks4 pupils to learn about Anaerobic Respiration.
The powerpoint covers theory and contains differentiated tasks and a practical / investigation.
A practical handout is also included.
Enjoy!
L.O. To describe how different organisms co-exist and to identify niches within an ecosystem.
Perfect for key stage 3.
Notes are written for each slide in the powerpoint.
Solutions to tasks and questions are also included in the powerpoint so that pupils can mark their own work.
There are 24 slides in total, 6 of which are revision slides for the unit of “ecosystem”.
Enjoy!
This resource explains how the exchange and transport system of animals are dependent on their surface area to volume ratio.
