7th grade Science students are given biome specific organisms and must organize them into a food chain, connecting them by properly placing an arrow to face the predator in each connection. Afterwards, students label the different trophic levels, including: producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer and decomposer; additionally, students must identify the consumers as one of three types: carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. When students complete their food chain with labels, they then take a picture of it with their iPad in order to upload it into Google Classroom.
