Science at key stages 1 and 2 (Year 6)
Unit 6A: Interdependence and adaptation
Section 10: Tracing food chains
|
|
Objectives |
| Children should learn: |
- to construct food chains in a particular habitat
|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Using the information gathered in the previous activity help children to construct food chains relating to the habitat. Challenge children to trace the food chains back to the producer. Ask children to compare the food chains from the two habitats and talk with them about similarities and differences.
|
|
- sequence food chains within a habitat including a plant as a producer and using the arrow convention correctly
|
|
Points to note |
Children may begin to see how food chains interconnect. If so, the idea of food webs could be mentioned. However, these are not required by the Key Stage 2 programme of study.
