Create a Food Chain, K-2
Educators know that young children better visualize a concept after experiencing it with all their senses. When trying to teach them about the simple food chain, just eating a variety of foods and discussing their origin is not enough. Milk carton blocks are easy to assemble and your child can manipulate them to experiment with the pyramid that is created in an actual food chain.
Take ten clean, empty milk cartons (quart or half-gallon size is best) and measure one e ...

Endangered Food Chain
Science Activity
In this activity students will experience, first hand, the far-reaching effects of environmental hazards such as DDT and other chemical pesticides.
BACKGROUND
The story of the Peregrine Falcon provides a clear example of the far-reaching impact of environmental hazards and the need for environmental protection laws. The world's fastest bird of prey, the falcon, has few natural enemies and so thrives in many locations. In the 1960s, however, its popula ...

TEACHERS: This would be an great place to show a video clip from Disney's, "The Lion King." Use the clip where Mufasa discusses with Simba the circle of life. (Be sure to follow established district copyright policies.)
A food web is a model that shows all the possible feeding relationships between organisms living in an ecosystem.
You can see that a food web is much more complex than a food chain. A food web is actually several food chains joined together. Because most organisms ...

Wetlands are one of the most threatened natural resources on earth. Next to tropical rain forests and coral reefs, wetlands are the most rapidly vanishing habitat. And unfortunately, because wetlands don’t have the advantage of being beautiful or colorful by traditional standards, or support high-profile species, they don’t receive nearly the media attention as the other two habitats. And yet the ecological and economical importance of wetlands is incredible.
California has lost 91% of its h ...
