PUPIL WORKSHEET

Animals get food by eating

Autumn 1 · Week 7 · Lesson A

Name: ____________________________ Date: __________________

Distinguish producers and consumers in simple green-plant food chains, read arrows from food to eater and justify a correction.

Use this sheet with the lesson. You may point, sign, speak, draw, write, dictate or direct an adult. Keep your first idea so you can show what changed.

1. Food-source clues

Read or hear the clues. Name producer or consumer for each example.

PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 7 · Lesson A

2. Build the first chain

Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.

Use grass, rabbit, fox and two arrows. A rabbit can eat grass; a fox can eat a rabbit.

My chain: ___ → ___ → ___.

The first arrow means ___.

The second arrow means ___.

The producer is ___ because ___.

PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 7 · Lesson A

3. Correct a deliberate error

Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.

Someone draws rabbit → grass using the same feeding clue. Explain or direct a repair.

The clue tells me ___.

The repaired arrow is ___ → ___.

It points this way because ___.

PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 7 · Lesson A

4. Explain the model’s meaning

Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.

Use a role and an evidence word. No one needs to collect or feed real organisms.

A fox is a ___ because ___.

If grass decreases, a rabbit might ___ because ___.

One thing this simple model cannot tell us: ___.

Choose a response route

Agree one route with your teacher; you do not need every route.

Supported

Point to producer/consumer and direct one arrow using a read-aloud clue.

Standard

Build a three-organism chain and explain both arrows.

Stretch

Diagnose reversed arrows and qualify a prediction about fewer plants.

Keep this record for Wednesday Week 7.

BUILD Science Autumn1 W7 Cards and Labels

PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 7

Two-chain organism labels

Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.

Use paper models only. Leaves represent part of a green producer plant. Real animals can have other food sources.

Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.

PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 7

Chain arrows and role labels

Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.

Arrows go from food to the eater; they show food and energy passing. Adult may cut four arrows, or pupils may draw/direct them.

Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.

PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 7

Feeding evidence

Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.

Read each clue before arranging arrows. The links are examples rather than complete diets.

Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.

PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 7

Model-change prompt

Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.

Use an opaque paper cover over the plant card. This is a hypothetical change, not a real experiment or measured result.

Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.
