    Learning Outcome: 

    Success Criteria:

    1) Identify and compare different types of consumers (top predator, primary and secondary consumer, producer, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, scavenger) 

    2) Explain how energy moves through a food web

    3) Draw simple food chains 

    Activities:

    1) Food webs: reading different food webs (desert, marine, forest); participate in a role playing game

    2) Food chains: use food webs to draw food chains; discuss how food webs and chains can be disrupted by human activities such as overfishing and pollution

    3) Classification: Research the different fish in New Zealand waters 




    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...the classification of different types of consumers so we can analyse how food webs are impacted by overfishing
    • We are EXPLORING...Tāne's stream by collecting and observing its water quality to question what environments some fish live in
