Food Chain and Food Web Vocabulary Words - Literacy Station for Science

Anonymous — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 07:03:00 GMT

What is a food chain or a food web? What is a carnivore, herbivore, omnivore or scavenger? To answer question like these I made a set of food web science definition cards for my students. Each card has a picture of an organism to represent each term along with a simple, easy to understand definition. See the sample picture below. It is a total of eighteen cards available at TpT and Teachers Notebook for $3.00. I color coded each card so that the words match the colors of the theme in the definition. What do I mean? For example, the green cards have words like producer, herbivore, and photosynthesis. These cards encourage reading and will be a great addition to your science literacy station. Here is a list of all of the food web terms in this set: habitat, organism, producer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, consumer, scavenger, decomposer, predator, prey, food chain, food web, micro-organism, fungus, energy and photosynthesis.

Speaking of reading, I also have these word wall cards that have the following terms: habitat, organism, producer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, consumer, food chain, food web, scavenger, decomposer, predator, prey, energy, and photosynthesis. This illustrated word wall set is perfect for helping your students to remember the spelling and meanings of key food chain and food web terms. I used cute but realistic clip art of animals, plants, and micro-organisms. Some of the clip art used were created by Oxana at Teacher’s Clipart. Here's a preview (below) of one of the word wall cards - the food chain card. This one shows the words 'food chain' along with an actual food chain starting with a leaf that is by a caterpillar which is eaten by a bird which is eaten by a snake. Wait till you see the food web card. Yikes! You can click here (TpT) or here (Teachers Notebook) to see more sample pictures of this set.

If you need some books that you can have as supplementary information for your students, you can check out the full range of food chain book series available at amazon. I saw these "What if..." books that will take learning to a deeper level as students discover the calamity that happens when one organism is removed from the food chain. These are some of the books below.

What if there were no Bees? What if there were no Sea Otters? What if there were no Lemmings?

What if there were no Gray Wolves?

Here are some other things that can be included in your food chain science station...

As in Part 7, this one is on horses, too, and the idioms are given as the clues. Unfortunately, a couple of them are long ones, so you will see only a part of them. However, being so kind, I'm listing the full idioms below ;-) put the cart before the horseget on your high horsehold your horsesfrom the horse's mouthI could eat a horseYou can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it

Here's part 7 of this series on idioms. This time, the meanings are given, and you have to match the idioms to them. As I've mentioned several times before, the clue box allows a maximum of 34 characters (I think), so I have to adapt to this restriction one way or another. For this game, however, I decided to let the idioms simply truncate, so it's only fair to show you the full idioms first:
