Food Chains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

Whatta Web
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

Growing Food From Scraps
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

Food Chains and Webs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

What's for Dinner?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

Quick Frozen Critters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

Acorns
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners play the roles of gray or red squirrels gathering and storing a supply of food in "fall" and recovering enough of them to survive the "winter." Learners carry bags repre

Jay Play
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

Otter Smorgasbord
Source Institutions
In this graphing activity (on pages 33-40), learners investigate how much and what kinds of food sea otter pups eat during their first year of life.

Ants
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners investigate ant behavior by testing ant feeding reactions to different types of food.

Food Webs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.

Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

Cook Food Using the Sun
Source Institutions
Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

Iodine Investigators!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

For the Birds
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

Flocking for Food
Source Institutions
In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

Fuel for Living Things
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

Deer Me: A Predator/Prey Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.
