Food chains

A food chain shows how each living thing gets food and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Let's watch some videos and play a game!





Drag the parts of the the food chain to their correct place and have fun!

Play the game!




Say the food chain chant!

Ready steady 1, 2, 3
Can you say this chant with me?
A food chain goes round and round
In water, air and on the ground.
A rabbit eats a plant
A lynx eats the rabbit
Then the lynx gets old and dies
Bacteria and fungi
Help it decompose
To make nutrients in the ground.
And guess what happens next ...
Yes, a plant uses the nutrients
To make its own food
So that’s how a food chain
Goes round and round
In water air and on the ground!
