What educators are saying

This resource was very helpful and provided several interactive opportunities for the students. I appreciated the different tasks that accompanied purchasing the resource as well as all of the different organisms. I laminated this resource so that I can use for years to come. Thank you!
This was a great review for my 5th-grade students while we were studying food chains and webs. It was very engaging.

Description

Are you looking for an engaging way to learn about food webs? This resource includes 48 Food Web sorting cards with producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers. Animal and plant species are native to North America. Students will sort cards in 6 different Food Web and Food Chain tasks. Students will identify trophic levels, energy flow, producers and consumers, and more. This resource addresses the Disciplinary Core Ideas for NGSS Ecosystem: Interactions, Energy, and dynamics.

This resource includes

48 organism cards

6 task cards

Answer sheets

Tasks Include:

•Building a Food Web

•Building a food Chain

•Identifying trophic levels

•Memory Game

•Food Chain Challenge

•What do they eat?

Science Concepts include:

  • food chains
  • food webs
  • producers, consumers, decomposers
  • herbivore, carnivore, omnivore
  • trophic levels
  • ecosystem
  • autotrophs and heterotrophs

Teachers Love This Resource!

Kristen ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied

"This was great for my science rotations. Students created a variety of food webs and chains, and the task cards were easy to follow. Great information".

Peggy ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied

"These were great for my 7th-grade life science class. Students enjoyed sorting and making food webs and the task cards had great questions".

Standards This Resource Addresses:

NGSS 5-PS3-1. Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body

warmth) was once energy from the sun.

and

NGSS 5-LS2-1. Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.

Utah SEEd 5.3.2 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information that animals obtain energy and matter from the food they eat for body repair, growth, and motion and to maintain body warmth. Emphasize that the energy used by animals was once energy from the Sun. Cellular respiration will be taught in Grades 6 through

Utah SEEd 5.3.3 Develop and use a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. Emphasize that matter cycles between the air and soil and among plants, animals, and microbes as these organisms live and die. Examples could include simple food chains from ecosystems such as deserts or oceans or diagrams of decomposers returning matter to the environment.

Utah SEEd 6.4.3 Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem. 

NGSS MS LS2-3 Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem.

Standards

NGSSMS-LS2-2
Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems. Emphasis is on predicting consistent patterns of interactions in different ecosystems in terms of the relationships among and between organisms and abiotic components of ecosystems. Examples of types of interactions could include competitive, predatory, and mutually beneficial.
NGSSMS-LS2-3
Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem. Emphasis is on describing the conservation of matter and flow of energy into and out of various ecosystems, and on defining the boundaries of the system. Assessment does not include the use of chemical reactions to describe the processes.
NGSS5-LS2-1
Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. Emphasis is on the idea that matter that is not food (air, water, decomposed materials in soil) is changed by plants into matter that is food. Examples of systems could include organisms, ecosystems, and the Earth. Assessment does not include molecular explanations.
