Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem: Food Chains, Food Webs, and Energy Pyramids
When a minnow eats a piece of plastic, that garbage often tracks through multiple animals, causing harm to each as it passes through the food chain. Scholars learn about food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids with a presentation. It...

Illinois Wild
Sixth graders identify different animals native to Illinois. They research a specific animal to study more about its characteristics, examine what makes a habitat, and recognize the difference between a food web and food chain.

Food Chains
Pupils classify organisms into the food chain. They relate their reading from The Midnight Fox by Betsy Byars to the food chain. They also classify organisms as herbivore, carnivore, producer, consumer, predator and prey.
