What educators are saying

I used it this summer as a lesson for a job interview for middle school science. I was offered the job!
Such great hands-on activities for the students to do to practice the concepts related to food chains and webs. Very satisfied.

Learning Objective

Students will make a model of food webs and complete food web worksheets to demonstrate their understanding of the flow of energy in a food web.

Description

Do you want to give your students some interesting activities on Food Webs? Students will make a model by building food webs and food chains to show the energy flow within an ecosystem! Students will love sorting these 72 food web cards and will love the food web worksheets.

This resource includes

  • Slideshow on how energy moves through an ecosystem
  • Lesson plans
  • Vocabulary puzzle activities
  • Food Web worksheets
  • Answer keys
  • Sorting Cards
  • Task Cards
  • Assessment

Teachers Love This Resource!

Jennifer⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied

I absolutely loved this resource. My students worked individually to come up with a web, and then we put the web they liked best on the board. There are several options available to create models and work to meet the standards for NGSS.

Tina ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied

Just love the way the author really ties to the standard and has it so well planned out. The suggested schedule is really great. No busy work here. This is a rich, standards-based unit. Just what I have come to expect from this author.

Students will learn that energy flows through an ecosystem and that we can make a model of this transfer of energy by creating food chains and food webs.

The task cards include six tasks

Sorting Type of Organism

Sorting Trophic Level

Sorting herbivores, carnivores, omnivores

Building a model of energy flow in a Food Web

Building a model of energy flow in a Food Chain

Making a Food Web and Labeling the Parts

Reference Notes are provided so students can research what each organism eats.

This resource also includes a two-page assessment in a multiple-choice format quiz.

This ecosystem resource is great for practicing the concept of energy flow in an ecosystem, food webs, and food chains. Students will see the interconnectedness and relationships between organisms within a food web. The ecosystem worksheets are also helpful.

Students will use the following Science concepts and practices:

Making a Model

Analyzing and interpreting data

Constructing explanations

Engaging in argument from evidence

Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

Food web

Food chain

The movement of matter among plants, animals decomposers in the environment.

Using models to describe the movement of energy along the food chain

The following NGSS standards are addressed:
NGSS 5-LS2-1 Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.

NGSS 5-PS3-1 Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, and motion and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.


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.

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.

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

and

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.  Emphasize food webs and the role of producers, consumers, and decomposers in various ecosystems.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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.
