STUDENT WILL BW ABLE TO:
1. understand the concept of a food chain,
2.identify different components within a food chain,
3.analyze the interdependence of organisms within
ecosystems.
Pre-Reading :
Activity 1.
1. Brainstorming: Teacher enters in the class and Begin by asking students what they know about food chains. Write down their responses on the board. Discuss key terms such as producers, consumers, predators, and prey.
Activity 2.
2.Visual Exploration: Teacher Shows students printed visuals or diagrams of different food chains from various ecosystems. Encourage them to identify the different organisms involved and discuss how energy flows through the chain. While-Reading:
Text Reading
In the intricate dance of nature, the food chain weaves a web of dependency and sustenance, a symphony of life echoing through every ecosystem. At its heart lies a simple yet profound principle: the transfer of energy from one organism to another. From the sun's radiant embrace, plants harness vitality through photosynthesis, becoming the lifeblood of the chain. These producers, in turn, nourish herbivores, the gentle grazers and leaf-munchers, who thrive on nature's bounty. Yet, their existence fuels the carnivores, the predators lurking in the shadows, embodying the balance of power and vulnerability. And so, the cycle continues, each link interwoven, each creature a vital player in the grand tapestry of existence. From the tiny plankton adrift in the ocean's depths to the majestic predators prowling the savannah, the food chain binds us all, reminding us of our interconnectedness and our shared dependence on the delicate balance of life.
Activity 3. True and False. Note write A for True and B for False in the following Table.
1. Plants obtain vitality primarily through animal consumption.
2. Carnivores are depicted as passive and non-influential within the food chain
3. The passage mentions only two types of organisms: producers and herbivores.
4. The passage suggests that every creature within the food chain has an equally important role.
5. The passage specifically mentions the Arctic ecosystem as an example of the food chain.
6. : According to the passage, the balance of life within the food chain is robust and unchanging.

Activity 4.
1. Discussion Session:
Divide the group into smaller teams and assign each team a role within the food chain (e.g., producers, herbivores, carnivores). Discuss how each team's role contributes to the overall balance of the ecosystem.
2. Question and Answer.
1.what role does each organism play in sustaining this cycle?
3.What does the passage suggest about the dependency of organisms within the food chain on one another, and how does this interconnectedness contribute to the overall functioning of ecosystems?
4.How does the passage use imagery and language to convey the complexity and beauty of the food chain, from the smallest organisms like plankton to the largest predators?
Food Chain_ Introduction A food chain explains which organism eats another organism in the environment. The food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where nutrients and energy is transferred from one organism
