Conceptual Objective
Students will understand that food chains overlap to form a web of
multiple energy paths.
Process Objective
Students will create a model of a food web.
Materials
* construction paper
* markers
* scissors
* bulletin boards
* pushpins
* tape
* string
* handouts
Procedure
1. Introduce and explain the terms 'food chain' and 'food web' to
students.
2. View, explain, and answer questions about transparency.
3. Pass out handouts and explain how the information is set up on the
chart.
4. Put children into groups of five, giving each group the necessary
supplies.
5. Instruct children to draw and label all of the different grassland
organisms listed. Also draw a picture of the sun. Cut out drawings and
attach them to bulletin boards with pushpins. Leave space between the
drawings.
6. Students should tape one end of the piece of string to any one of the
drawings. Using the table, connect the other end of the string to the
proper organism.
7. Students should draw and cut out an arrow, taping it on the string to
indicate in which direction the energy is flowing.
8. Students should repeat these steps to connect al of the organisms.
9. Announce clean-up time, and display finished food webs around the
room.
Evaluation
1. Did students make and use a model that allowed them to make
inferences about food chains? Assess the neatness and the accuracy
of the food webs.
Troubleshooting
1. Students may argue about who will do what in the group. If this
happens, the teacher should assign roles to students.
