    The document provides instructions for students to complete an assignment on food webs, including drawing a food chain with labeled trophic levels, constructing pyramids of numbers to show populations at each level, and working through worksheets to build food webs for different ecosystems. Students are asked to evaluate their understanding by answering questions comparing food chains to webs and pyramids of numbers to biomass.

    Title: Food Webs


    Starter: 4 MINS
    In your books:
    Put the organisms to the below into a chain of what eats what.
    I will learn:
    Recall the different trophic
    How energy flows through
    levels in a food chain.
    an ecosystem.

    I will apply my Organise organisms into a


    learning by: pyramid of numbers.

    Use new key words:


    Food chain, food web, Construct food webs for a
    trophic levels. given ecosystem.

    I will evaluate my learning by: Comparing and contrasting.


    Food Chains
    • Shows the flow of energy in an ecosystem
    In your books:
    Trophic Levels Draw the food chain and add
    the following labels.

    Think… Quaternary consumer


    Primary consumer
    Why are we unlikely to have Primary producer
    a food chain longer than 5 Tertiary consumer
    species? Secondary consumer
    Pyramid of numbers
    • Shows the total number of individual organisms at
    each trophic level.
    On the mini-white boards:
    Draw the following
    pyramids of numbers:

    Oak tree (1)


    Aphid (50)
    Lady bird (25)
    Sparrow (5)
    Think…
    What do you notice about the
    shapes of the two pyramids?
    Pyramids of biomass
    Think…
    Pair…
    Share…

    What is the
    difference
    between the
    two pyramids?

    Which
    represents an
    ecosystem more
    accurately?
    Work through the worksheets
    • Food webs represent the flow of energy through an
    ecosystem.
    • Better representation than food chains.
    Helpful hints:
    • Foxes like to eat small rodents
    • Grass-hopers and aphids are herbivores
    • Frogs and voles like to eat an insect that hops
    • Frogs have two predators; one slithers one flies
    • Aphids are the prey of an arachnid
    • Thrushes eat eight legs but have to look up to
    avoid their predators
    Evaluate your learning
    • Full sentences:

    • What is the difference between food chains and


    food webs?

    • Compare and contrast pyramids of numbers and


    pyramids of biomass.
