Check understanding
- Construct a food chain with at least four organisms, labelling producer, primary consumer, predator
- Define producer, predator, and prey with examples
- Interpret a given food chain to predict what happens if one organism is removed
“Can your child build a food chain for a woodland and point out which organisms are producers, which are predators, and which are prey?”
