    Worksheet 4.2
    Make a food web
    You will need: a ball of string, sticky putty or safety pins, a Sun card, plant and
    animal cards, scissors

    Work in groups of 10–15. Your teacher will give your group a set of cards to stick or
    pin onto your shirt or dress.

    Steps
    1 The learner who is the Sun must hold the ball of string.
    2 The Sun should hold onto the free end of the string and pass the ball to a producer.
    3 The producer holds onto the string and passes the ball to a herbivore.
    4 The herbivore holds onto the string and passes the ball to an animal that eats the herbivore.
    5 Continue passing the ball of string until you have made a food chain.
    Cut the string and pass the ball back to the Sun.
    6 Repeat steps 2–5 until everyone in your group is holding onto the string and
    you have made a food web.
    7 a Now imagine that a pesticide kills the insects in the food chains. The insects and all the
    animals connected to the insects must let go of the string and leave their food chains.
    b Other learners in the web must all pull gently on the string. What happens to the web?

    Questions
    1 Which person was a part of every food chain? Why?

    Help sheet
    This information will help you to connect to the right living things in the game:
    • The energy for all food chains and food webs comes from the Sun.
    • Green plants are producers that use the Sun’s energy to make food.
    • The rabbit, snail, locust, caterpillar and beetle are herbivores.
    • The snake, cat, eagle, frog and fox are carnivores.
    • The rat and thrush are omnivores.
