Create Polar Food Chain

Overview:

An activity where students cut and paste polar animals to build food chains, demonstrating the relationships and energy flow in a polar ecosystem. Designed for upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the concept of food chains and how energy moves through an ecosystem.
• Identify the roles of producers, consumers, and predators in a polar biome.
• Develop fine motor skills and organisational skills through a cut-and-paste activity.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with images of various polar animals (e.g., plankton, seals, polar bears) and are tasked with cutting and pasting them to create food chains. They arrange the animals in the correct order, showing how energy flows from producers to consumers and predators in a polar environment. This activity helps students develop a deeper understanding of the polar ecosystem and the connections between different organisms within it.
