Materials Required:
Paper strips (one per food chain member)
Markers or pens
Glue or tape
Steps Involved:
Prepare the Paper Strips: Provide each student with paper strips and markers.
Write the Names: Have students write the names of food chain members on separate strips of paper in sequence (e.g., plants, caterpillar, chicken, human, lettuce, caterpillar, spider).
Create the Chain: Instruct students to connect the paper strips into a chain by gluing or taping the ends of each strip together in the correct sequence.
Arrange and Review: Ensure students arrange the paper chain so that it correctly represents the food chain sequence. Discuss how each member fits into the chain and their role within the ecosystem.
Present the Chain: Allow students to present their paper chains to the class, explaining the sequence of the food chain and how each member interacts with the others.
