Food Chain Builder

Put living things in the right order to build five food chains, from producer to top predator.

Students build five food chains from real UK habitats: woodland, garden, farmland, pond and sea. They tap each living thing in order, from the producer to the top predator. Every chain is checked straight away with a clear explanation, so it works as a quick starter or a plenary.

Learning goals

  • Put living things in the correct order in a food chain
  • Use the words producer, consumer, predator and prey correctly
  • Explain that energy passes along a food chain
