Materials Required:
Paper plates
Markers
Stickers (grass, zebras, lions, bees, wolves)
Glue or paste
Steps Involved:
Prepare the Plate: Give each student a paper plate to serve as the base for their food chain diagram.
Decorate the Plate: Instruct students to use markers to draw and label sections of the plate for different parts of the food chain (e.g., grass as producers, zebras as consumers, lions as secondary consumers, bees, and wolves as scavengers).
Add Stickers: Have students place stickers around the border of the plate to represent each part of the food chain—grass, zebras, lions, bees, and wolves.
Create the Cycle: Guide students to arrange stickers to show the cycle, illustrating how scavengers interact with the soil and grass.
Label the Food Chain: Ensure students label each part of the food chain clearly on the plate.
Discuss the Food Chain: Have students explain their food chain diagram to the class, highlighting the role of each organism and how they fit into the cycle.
