Figuring Out Food Chains, By Christine Anne Royce (NRC 1996) Cole Longo Review: Most students understand that we and other creatures consume plant and animal material. However, they may be aware how that process includes all animals which fits together in a food cycle/ web/ chain. This article goes on to explain the focus questions we should be presenting K-12 students. Questions such as “How do organisms obtain and use the matter and energy they need to live and grow?” and “How do organisms interact with the living and nonliving environment to obtain matter and energy?”. Students will need to identify how different animals fit into the food chain by what relies on them, and what they rely on to survive. By engaging the students to make predictions such as asking giving them images which can construct a simple food chain and asking them to put it together. Evaluation is important. A formal assessment can be provided to gauge student competency.
