    Lesson Presentation Food Chains

    Uploaded by

    Cholimun MM
    This document discusses food chains and food webs. It defines key terms like producer, consumer, herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore. Students learn that a food chain shows a single path of energy transfer between organisms, while a food web shows multiple overlapping food chains within an ecosystem. The document provides examples of correctly labeling parts of food chains and explains when to use chains versus webs. It aims to help students construct and interpret different representations of how organisms acquire energy in an environment.

    Food Chains

    What is a food chain?

    Now watch the following video clip and see if we can add to or refine our ideas.
    Interpreting Food Chains

    How is this food chain constructed?


    What do the arrows represent?
    How should we label the different parts of the food chain?

    When would it be better
    to use a food chain?
    When would a food web
    be better?
