    Food Webs

    Uploaded by

    Chan Chiew Wair
    This document discusses food chains and food webs. It explains how energy flows through food chains from producers like plants to consumers like herbivores and carnivores. Students are taught to construct individual food chains, identify multiple chains within a food web, and then link the chains together to form a complete food web. Examples of food webs in different habitats are provided. The goal is for students to understand the concepts of producers, consumers, energy flow, and the difference between food chains and interconnected food webs.

    Food chains and

    food webs
    We Are Learning To…
    …use words correctly to describe
    feeding relationships between
    animals and plants.

    …show how energy flows through food


    chains

    …interlink food chains to form food


    webs
    What I’m Looking For:
    1. Construct your own food chain
    2. Spot at least two food chains from a
    food web
    3. Point arrows in the right direction in
    a food chain
    4. Construct a food web in a group
    5. Be able to answer quiz at the end

    Your turn
    • In pairs write down two food chains.
    • Perhaps one of the organisms in it could
    be you!
    • (Hopefully not being eaten by a wolf )
    • Draw in arrows pointing from the thing
    being eaten to the thing eating it.

    Energy
    Which Flow
    way does the energy flow?

    • Which way do the sun’s rays go?

    What is it used for?


    How is the sun’s energy used?

    Food chain: a flow of energy in a habitat

    Sun allows grass to grow

    The arrow means ‘is eaten by’ and
    always goes towards the consumer
    Except that Owls also eat
    Shrews as well as Rabbits

    Shrews also eat other plant
    matter as well as Grass

    Plant Shrew

    Shrews also have to watch out
    for weasels that might eat them

    And snails and worms eat the
    plant matter too.

    Let’s complete ours with

    foxes (that eat pretty much anything that
    moves!)

    Food Chain to Food Web
    The original food chain has expanded into a
    food web with 8 interlinked chains as more
    organisms have been added

    Food webs are normal in natural habitats as


    there is nearly always more than one
    organism that eats something else.
    Some Key Words
    • Producer
    • Consumer
    –Herbivore
    –Carnivore
    –Omnivore
    CARNIVORES

    OMNIVORES
    HERBIVORES

    PRODUCERS
    Your turn
    • In groups of four use the pictures in the
    envelopes to make your own food webs.
    • Start off with individual food chains
    • Then try to link them together to make a
    food web.
    • Draw in some arrows – the right way
    round!

    What We Have Done:
    1. Constructed food chains
    2. Spotted at least two food chains
    from a food web
    3. Point arrows in the right direction in
    a food chain
    4. Constructed a food web in a group
