ADAPTATIONSObjective – Arrange organisms from a habitat into a food web

OutcomesLevel 4 – Must - Produce more than one food chain from a habitatLevel 5 - Should – Organise several food chains in a habitat into a food webLevel 6 – Could – Describe how one organism can impact another in the food web

Using a food web

1. Name the producer in this food web.

2. Name two herbivores in this food web.

3. Name two species that are top carnivores.

4. How many secondary consumers are there?5. Which food chains include the moth?

Food chains recap

From a food chain, we can tell if an organism is a producer, a herbivore or a carnivore.

Why is it a good idea for an organism to have different sources of food?

These food chains can be put together in a food web, which shows how the food chains are connected.

What would the food web for these food chains look like?

What would happen if?

6. All of the owls were shot by hunters…

7. A disease kills all the voles…

8. The plants all die from drought…

9. The aphid population decreases…

Farming and Food Webs

Level ladderTo get

level… You might have to…4 • Draw two food chains with 3-4 links.

• Identify a producer, a predator and a prey.• Described the damage the pests will cause to the

cabbages.5 • Draw a food web that links at least three food chains.

• Identify the following producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore

• Explain how each pest damages the cabbages• Describe why farmers will use pesticides (pest killers)

6 All of the above plus – • Explain how the pesticide could cause harm to the Sparrowhawk at the top of the food chain.• Discuss some alternatives to using pesticides

Peer and Self Assessment

• Use the level ladder as a guide• Mark your partners work and look for each

point at each level• At the end of the task state:

• WWW – what went well• EBI – even better if
