Desert Biome Food Web and Food Chains Learning Resources

Presenting our Desert Food Web and Food Chains Learning resource.  This packet is part of our  Food Web Biome Bundle Pack.  The bundle contains 10 sets of food web activities in the 10 biomes around the world, namely: Arctic, boreal forest, deciduous forest, desert, mountain, ocean, pond, rainforest, savanna, and tundra.  This post gives you a glimpse of our Deciduous packet.

INTRODUCTION USING MONTESSORI 3-5 PART CARDS

This Montessori-inspired 5-part card introduces the child to what a food web, and food chains are and describes the role of each organism in the food web.

Note that these cards are color-coded (border) based on the biome.  

ENERGY PYRAMID

Additional Hands-on Activities

BUILD YOUR OWN ACTIVITY

I provided printable cards, arrows, descriptions, and labels so the child could recreate the diagrams and add more details. The animal cards are in real images, clipart, and blackline versions; just print the one that suits your need.  The arrows will show the energy transfer, and the child can use the other labels to identify the animals based on their diet and their role in the food web.

Information Summary Cards and Research Papers

Furthermore, I also added these information cards summarizing each animal's role in the food web.  Instead of using the information cards, older kids can use the research papers to investigate the Deciduous Food Web and fill up the information independently.  Note my son filling up these research papers!

Also included (my favourite set) are 32 task cards that provide questions based on the food web and chain diagrams. It requires thinking to analyse the diagram
