Students will learn about the importance of food chains and what each link entails - first link - sun, second link - producers, consumers and how they can be carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores, and what each of those consumers means, students will learn about where they get energy from, students will also label the 1st link, 2nd link, producers, and kinds of consumers on food chains. Students will then look at 4 picture cards. They will look at each card and write how each organism gets its energy.

2. Food Chains Adapted Notes and Review:

In this product, students will learn about food chains. Notes and review have been adapted to meet students’ individual learnings needs. Students will review the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll, and how plants made food. Students will then learn that producers make their own food by using energy from the sun that is changed into chemical energy. Students will also learn about consumers and how they get energy. Students will learn about the food chain - the sun, producers, first-level consumers, second-level consumers, third-level consumers, and decomposers and their meanings, facts about food chains and how the different levels are presented. Students will also look at the arctic food chain and the different levels as well. Students will answer comprehension questions throughout this product to ensure understanding and at the end of the product vocabulary review questions are asked.

3. Food Chains Project:

In this product, students will make a food chain mobile. They will cut out the sun, producers, and consumers cards, they will then make 3 mobiles.

Students can work individually or with a partner or a group to complete this activity. Students will then research if their animal is a carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore and will label the consumer.

4. Food Webs Adapted Notes and Review:

In this product, students will learn about food webs. Notes and review have been adapted to meet students’ individual learnings needs. Students will learn what food webs are and what they look like.

Students will look at food webs and determine the groups of food chains that are in a given food web. Students will answer comprehension questions throughout this product to ensure understanding and at the end of the product vocabulary review questions are asked.

5. Food Chains and Food Webs File Folder Activity:

In this product, students will label the following vocabulary words with their definitions - food webs, predators, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, 1st level consumers, 2nd level consumers, 3rd level consumers, producers, food chain, photosynthesis, chlorophyll, and decomposers to review or summarize all that they learned about food chains and food webs. Students will also match the vocabulary words - food chain and food web with the correct diagram. Students will then match the following vocabulary words with the photosynthesis diagram to show that they understand the process of photosynthesis - photosynthesis, light energy, carbon dioxide, oxygen, sugar, and water.

6. Food Chains and Food Webs Project:

In this product, students will have the opportunity to complete 2 projects - a food chain and and food web project. Students will cut out the pictures and will glue them on a poster board to make a good chain and a food web.

Please leave me a positive review if you like this product :)

This product includes notes for students learning about how plants move materials.

Vocabulary words that are emphasized in this packet include: nonvascular plants, vascular plants, phloem, xylem, veins, transpiration, evaporation, root pressure, cohesion, and gravity.

In this product, students will learn what vascular and nonvascular plants are, how they differ from one another, where they are found, and what they contain. Students will also learn about plant stems and why they are important to a plant, how they benefit a plant, help a plant grow, transport sugars through the plant, etc. Students will also learn, in detail how stems from plants contain 2 important kinds of tissue - phloem and xylem. Students will learn that water moves upward in plants because of three things - root pressure, cohesion, and transpiration. Students will also learn how gravity is beneficial in plants.

Throughout the product, students will complete short answer comprehension questions, fill in the blank questions using a key, labeling a diagram based on what was presented on phloem and xylem and another diagram on transpiration, evaporation, root pressure, cohesion, and gravity.
