Food Chains

Room 5 just adores Ms. McL.

In Science, she has been teaching the food chain. We learned about producers (plants) and primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers. We've learned about herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores.

After learning about the food chain, we started working on our food chain project.

Each student chose an animal from the tundra.
Ariel

Room 5ers did some research on their animal. They found out what it ate...if it was a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore. They also found what adaptations the animal had to see how it survived in the tundra. There were other facts they looked for, too.

After collecting their facts, they wrote this into a paragraph, had it edited, and then wrote it on a large index card. On the other side of the card, they drew a picture of their animal.
Grace

Once this card was completed, each student was given 3 smaller cards. On one, they redrew their animal. Then they put this animal in a 3 - part food chain.
