This lesson plan is for a 7th grade general science class on the topic of forests and the food web. The 40 minute lesson aims to help students understand the interdependence of organisms in a community through the different trophic levels and energy flow. Students will work in groups to list animals in terrestrial food chains, which will then be combined on the board to demonstrate the food web. Various assessment activities are suggested based on student ability levels.
