Food chains – who eats what? Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Can you see a food chain in this habitat? Feeding Relationship Worksheet1 accompanies this section.

Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Food chains Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships A food chain is a sequence that shows how each individual feeds on the organism below it in the chain. Each arrow means ‘eaten by’. leaf caterpillar bird fox What does this food chain show? A leaf is eaten by a caterpillar, which is then eaten by a bird, which is then eaten by a fox. Energy is transferred from one organism to another in the direction of the arrow.

Food chains – draw your own Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Draw your own food chains based on the following guidelines: A food chain from a forest habitat. A food chain from an ocean habitat. A food chain with four organisms in it. A food chain that ends with you! Use arrows ( ) to show the transfer of energy between the organisms that you choose.

Producer, herbivore or carnivore? Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Food chains always start with a producer. If the producer is a plant, only a small part of it might be involved in the food chain, such as its seeds, fruits, leaves or even dead leaves. From a food chain, we can tell if an organism is a producer, a herbivore or a carnivore. leaf snail bird owl What are the feeding types of the animals in this food chain?

Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Name that feeding type Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships

Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Ranking consumers Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Consumers eat plants or animals, or both. A food chain can be used to rank different types of consumers. seaweed limpet crab human producer primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer Producers – make their own food. Primary consumers – eat producers. Secondary consumers – eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers – eat secondary consumers.

Primary, secondary or tertiary? Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships

Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships What is a food web? Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Why is it a good idea for an organism to have different sources of food? Animals usually eat many different things and are involved in lots of different food chains: plants aphid ladybird blue tit owl plants moth blue tit owl plants vole stoat plants vole owl Teacher notes Why is it a good idea for an organism to have different sources of food? Reliance on only one source of food would make an organism vulnerable to variations in the availability of this food. Also, many food sources are not available all year round, so alternative sources of nutrition are needed. These food chains can be put together in a food web, which shows how the food chains are connected. What would the food web for these food chains look like?

Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Using a food web Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships 1. Name the producer in this food web. 2. Name two herbivores in this food web. 3. Name two species that are top carnivores. 4. How many secondary consumers are there? Teacher notes 1. Daisy (flower/plant) 2. Vole and aphid (moth is also an acceptable answer – adult moths usually don’t eat, but their larvae do) 3. Stoat and barn owl 4. Four (ladybird, spider, stoat, blue tit) 5. Daisy, moth, blue tit, barn owl. Daisy, moth, spider, goldfinch, barn owl. 5. Which food chains include the moth?

Changes in the food chain Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Nearly every species of animal is dependent on a number of other species for survival – this is called interdependence. Currently human activity is damaging the natural habitats of many animals. This will not only affect the animals in the area, but it could have far-reaching effects on the rest of the species in the food web. Photo credit: Jupiterimages Corporation Teacher notes See ‘Ecosystems’ presentation for more about how changes in the environment can have an impact on animals. If the population of a species declines dramatically how might this affect the other species that depend upon it?

Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Changes in a food web Boardworks KS3 Science 2008 Feeding Relationships Teacher notes This activity is designed to show students that a decline in one species can have a significant impact on others. These values and outcomes are completely speculative.
