      Standard: 5.NS.3 - Observe and classify common Indiana organisms as producers, consumers, decomposers, predator and prey based on their relationships and interactions with other organisms in their ecosystem.

      Extension: After playing game, students could break up into small groups and create their own food webs and food chains with animals and other living organisms of their choice.

      Adaptation: Activity could be modified for ELL students by placing short definitions on the backs of their cards for "Consumer" and "Producer" so they can observe the relationship even if they don't know the words.

      Pictures could be added to index cards for ELL students who struggle with the variety of animal names that they might not be exposed to yet.

    Food chains are a basic concept that every student needs to know. This hands-on science activity gets your students up and moving. They will be actively involved in forming food chains.slide 1 of 8This lesson plan on building a food chain is an excellent way for students to learn the basic components of a food chain. Students will also become familiar with basic vocabulary associated with food chains.

      6.3.5 Describe how all animals, including humans, meet their energy needs by consuming other organisms, breaking down their structures, and using the materials to grow and function. 5.3.1 Observe and classify common Indiana organisms as producers, consumers, decomposers, predator and prey based on their relationships and interactions with other organisms in their ecosystem. This activity works really well for all types of learners because it is interactive and involves group knowledge.  For English Language learners, it would be a good idea to not only write the names of the species on the card, but to place pictures of the species on these cards as well.  This will help your ELLs, but it will also add another layer of knowledge for all students because they will start to notice that how the animal looks reflects its place on the food chain.  Animals that are fast and have sharp teeth and claws are probably at the top of the food chain, and plants are near the bottom.

    This is a group activity to teach students the importance of every part of the food chain.  The students are given role cards to show which species they are in a given ecosystem (the example used is a rainforest).  Yarn, which represents energy, is passed among the students to show how energy moves through the food chain.  This activity emphasizes the importance of every part of the food chain.
