Activities
SPS
Induction  Pictures of Teacher begins the lesson Communicating
animals and by brainstorming the
plants names of animals and
plants found in Grassland
biome, Pond Biome and
Ocean Biome.

Teacher show a sample of

food chains

SPS
Eliciting Idea Teacher Predicting
Comparing &
Teacher asks pupils to use Contrasting
the animals and plants to
construct as many food
chains as possible.

Teacher asks pupils to form

a food web from the food
chains. Pupils present the
information in the form of
a diagram.

Restructuring Teacher asks each group to

Idea present their work. Ask
them to write down the
definition of a food web.

Teacher show other

examples of food web of
different habitats
(Grassland biome, Pond
Biome and Ocean Biome).

Using a food web from one

of the group, discuss with
the class what happens
if there is a change in the
population of a certain
species in the food web
and
what happen to certain
species of animals if they
only eat one type of food.

Which species will be

affected if the rat
population changes?

Pupils may answer and

predicting.
Have students perform a
food chain simulation to
determine what happens
when a food chain is
broken.

a) Pin a card labeled sun,

plant, insect, toad, snake,
or hawk on six students.
b) Stand in a line and hold
hands in this order: sun-
plant-insect-toad-snake-
hawk.
c) Ask the following
questions:
What animals will die if
there were no snakes to
 eat?
(The snake person drops
hands.)
What animals will die if
there were no toads to
eat?
(The toad person drops
hands.)
What animals will die if
there were no insects to
eat?
(Insect person drops
hands.)
What animals will die if
there were no plants to
eat?
(Plant person drops hands.)
What will happen if there
were no sun to let plants
grow?

Application of “Bangau oh Bangau Call individual students up

Idea Song” to the board to arrange
organism cards to create
the food chain.
Discuss the events of the
song and the chain reaction
caused by the disturbance
at one level of the food
chain.
Demonstrate the chain
reaction by asking
individual students to
remove the appropriate
organism(s) in the food
chain.
 a) Each pupils were given an
exit card. The exit card
describes a change at one
level of a particular food
chain. The student must
correctly select the
organism which will be
affected by that change.
b) The pupils return a
completed exit card.
Reflection
Teacher incorporates the
value of appreciating the
balance of nature because
each species is the source
of food to another species.
If the species is gone, other
species will also be
affected.

Subject : Science
Learning Theme Investigating Living Things
Learning Area : Food Chain and Food Web

Learning : Pupils will be able to:

Objective  synthesizing food chains to construct food web
 predict what will happen if there is a change in the population of a
certain species in a food web.

Learning : At the end of lesson, pupils will be able to:-

Outcome  construct a food web.
 construct food webs of different habitats.
 predict the effect of changes in the population of a certain species
in a food web.

Prior : Pupils have discussed food chains in the previous lesson.

Knowledge

Scientific Skills : Observing

& Pupils observe plants and animals found in a particular habitat around the
Thinking Skills school compound.
Predicting
Pupils predict the effects resulting from a change in a population of one
species in a food web.
Communicating
Pupils describe or present the food web found in a habitat.
Analyzing
Pupils analyze a food web and determine the food chains in the food web.

Moral Value :  Having an interest and curiosity towards the environment

 Appreciating god’s creations and its role.
 Having critical and analytical thinking
