Errors will be noticed (if any) and can be addressed. Students will help to create the food chain correctly. Looking back at the food chains that the students created one will be posted for an example. Students will then be asked what each one is as a recap. The following BrainPOP video will be played about food chains: The new vocabulary that will be introduced is: herbivore, omnivore, producer, predator, prey, and carnivore. The teacher goes over more about what the students should have learned by introducing a video and the new vocabulary.Students will come back to their desks with their science notebooks and their cards in their appropriate bags. ![]() In the Explain portion the class comes back together and talks about their findings.*Explain to students to leave a small place between each organism for an arrow, which its function will be discussed later. They do not have to draw the pictures if they do not want to but they should have the names of the organisms at least. Possible questions could be:What is the primary source of energy in a food chain?What eats that plant/animal?Can a smaller animal eat the larger one?After making all three food chains the students should record each food chain in their science notebooks. Question students who seem to be having trouble. Students should be able to argue their findings as a group as to why they made the food chains like they did.While students are working move from group to group to see how the chains are coming along. Students are to work in their groups and come up with the food chain that makes sense of all three groups. Students are going to be broken into groups of 3-4 and given three groups of four to five cards that represent a food chain. ![]()
