Boreal Forest Food Web and Food Chains Learning Pack

 I'd like to introduce a new product in our shop, the Food Web Biome Bundle Pack which my son and I recently used to discuss life in the Boreal or Taiga Forest.  Our Food Web Biome Bundle Pack contains 10 sets of food web activities of animals in the 10 biomes around the world, namely: Arctic, boreal forest, deciduous forest, desert, mountain, ocean, pond, rainforest, savanna and tundra.  This post features our Boreal Food Web, and a sneak peek at some of the biome sets.

INTRODUCTION USING MONTESSORI 3-5 PART CARDS

This Montessori-inspired 5 part card introduces the child to what a food web, 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.  

BUILD YOUR OWN ACTIVITY

I provided printable cards, arrows, descriptions and labels so the child can recreate the diagrams and can add more details. The animal cards are in real images, clipart and in blackline version, 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 the role they play in the food web.

Information Summary Cards and Research Papers

Furthermore, I also added these information cards summarizing the role of each animal in the food web.  For older kids, instead of using the information cards, can use the research papers to investigate the Boreal  Food Web and fill up the information on their own.  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 analyze the diagram
