Food Chain Worksheets | Free Educational Worksheets For Kids - Free Printable

Let’s think about how food chains work.

In a food chain, energy moves from one living thing to another. The arrow always points in the direction that energy flows — meaning, it points FROM the thing being eaten TO the thing that eats it.

First, look at the land animals:

- Plants make their own food (they’re producers).
- Goats eat plants → so energy goes from Plant to Goat.
- Lions eat goats → so energy goes from Goat to Lion.

So for the top row:
Plant → Goat → Lion

Now, look at the ocean creatures:

- Seaweed is like underwater grass — it makes its own food (producer).
- Fish eat seaweed → energy goes from Seaweed to Fish.
- Sharks eat fish → energy goes from Fish to Shark.

So for the bottom row:
Seaweed → Fish → Shark

Final Answer:
Top row arrows: Plant → Goat → Lion
Bottom row arrows: Seaweed → Fish → Shark
