I chose this website because young students would enjoy watching this video and still gain knowledge of food chains. It only covers an ocean food chain, failing to touch on other environments.

In this activity, students are shown a picture of wildlife and are asked to click on eight living things. Students can click on animals or plants.

This website shows an activity using Styrofoam cups. It gives teachers an idea on an activity for students. I found this website on Pinterest and I really like the idea. I chose this website because it is a clever activity that many teachers can use in their classroom. It is also inexpensive.

After a lesson on food chains, I would have my students complete this activity.

LOVE this! Would like even better if the cups weren't styrofoam.
