My favorite food is raw turkey leg (do remember that I am a cat). My webmaster slices it up with a sharp knife.

What do turkeys eat ???
I am at the top of a food chain: nobody eats me !!!
Green plants are at the bottom of the food chain.

Here are some important facts about food chains to go on your index card.

All food chains start with a green plant.
Food chains cannot have more than five links in them.
The shortest food chain has just one link.

What you should do now:

  1. Write "Food Chains" on one side of an index card.
  2. Make some notes about food chains on the back.
  3. Add the card to your revision pack now.

 

Here are some simple examples:

Cabbage -----> Human
Grass ----> Rabbit -----> Fox
Oak Tree -----> Greenfly -----> Ladybirds -----> Small Birds -----> Sparrow hawk
