The best way for students to understand the flow of energy in food chains and food webs is for them to actually MAKE them!
This pack allows students in four different activities to learn about rainforests, forests, oceans, and freshwater ecosystems as they create food chains and food webs.
Please look at the preview to see what is included.
I have included black and white versions for students to complete independently, digital versions that can be completed in Google Slides, and I have also included color versions for you to print, laminate, and put in stations or centers!
I also wrote four short passages to give the students information about the ecosystems before they create the food chains and webs, but this would also be a great opportunity for students to research the animals’ diets. The ways you can use this pack are endless!

This Ecosystem Interactions resource was an excellent tool for teaching complex science concepts in a clear and engaging way. My 5th graders were able to explore how living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem affect each other through interactive activities and well-organized materials. The visuals, graphic organizers, and real-world examples helped deepen understanding and sparked great classroom discussions. It supported our science standards perfectly and made it easy to integrate reading, writing, and vocabulary practice. My students were engaged from start to finish, and many made strong connections to ecosystems in their own lives. A fantastic resource for upper elementary science!
