Designed for introducing your KS3 students to ecosystems and the idea of bioaccumulation in ecosystems, this includes examples of DDT in otters. This lesson plan is fully prepped covering key vocabulary and teaching students how bioaccumulation causes higher levels of contaminants in the apex predators of food chains. What is included: In this file you get the lesson powerpoint and a corresponding keyword list with definitions included, you also get a knowledge organiser to help students throughout the topic. I have left the design simple but editable - this is due to schools in my area having specific requirements around colours and fonts. Independent written tasks: This lesson has a written task with modeled examples of how to describe the process of bioaccumulation. The lesson plan follows the following 4 phase structure: Activate: 6 recall questions designed to get the students either retrieving previous knowledge linked to this or prior topics. These have been designed with my students in mind - they may look different for your students! Model: Set the scene for the lesson and outline key new knowledge. Show students how to approach a question or task. Practice: Give the students opportunities to use the new knowledge provided and attempt the tasks modeled in phase 2. Review: Check students grasp of new concepts with a quick review activity. On the first page of the PowerPoint, there is a link to a Google Drive containing the same resources just in case you teach in a Google school! Please note: This lesson is the second lesson in a topic covering ecosystems. You can get the first lesson for free by clicking the link below: FREE: Lesson 1 - Introduction to Ecosystems. Lesson 2 which covers food chains and webs, can be found here. Lesson 3 which teaches students about predator prey relationships can be found here. Lesson 4 - human impacts on ecosystems can be found here.

A power point activity for children to discuss and ask questions about creatures in the environment and how they depend on each other and contribute to the ecology of the earth.

A KS3 lesson on food chains

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Biology! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about how toxic materials accumulate in a food web. Students will describe the factors that affect the population of a species, explain how toxic materials accumulate in a food web, and explain the importance of insect pollinators to food supplies. The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets and quizzes for students to complete. This resource is part of the Ecosystem processes topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for GCSE Science. Included: 18 slides in total for the lesson PPT Differentiated worksheets

A science craft activity which can be differentiated if required. Use to support learning about ecosystems, feeding relationships and habitats. This resource has templates for 3 food chains (lion, grizzly bear and shark). For each one there are 3 similar options; Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included and fold. Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold. As above but with a simpler, straight cutting edge. Once folded, pupils can hide their food chain by bringing the 2 halves of the template together, then gently pull apart to reveal the inside (see preview video). There is minimal prep required. Print the designs you plan to use on paper or card. Students need coloured pencils, scissors and glue. Instructions for how to fold are included (you may wish to make an example beforehand for those who might find folding tricky). There is a version for both US and UK spelling/paper size.

A very good visual representation for students involving food chains. Student will need to cut and stick the top 3 food chains individually and place these into the correct order; showing which animal or plant gives energy to the next animal or plant. Challenge: Students can create their own food chains using their own consumers and producers. (consumer eats other plants or animals) (producer grows for animals to eat e.g. grass) Extension: Food chains have consumers and producers, can the student name the consumers and consumers within the different food chain.

Worksheets in which children work on forming food chains from given animals. LA - Picture cards with names of animals and arrows to make food chains. MA - muddled up names of animals for children to make three food chains from. HA - same as MA but encouraged to label the animals with key terms such as producer, consumer, predator and prey.

Pupils must arrange the pictures in the correct order to create a food chain.

Group of worksheets to match Cambridge IGCSE textbook for food chains and webs. Probably be adaptable for other courses too. See website for further info.

I used these information cards on different dinosaurs to start a project with my year 7s. I told my students that we were designing a fish tank, but for dinosaurs! They had to choose their favourite for their tank. They had to think about other dinosaurs they’d have to include to create a food chain for their pet, as well as the habitat. More able students also thoughts about other things they might want to include based no the adaptations of their chosen dinosaur. Alternatively, students could use these to make a food chain, or food web, and the extension task could be to write about their adaptations or habitats.
