Educational worksheet on food chains and food webs for learning about ecosystems and animal diets.

Let’s solve this step by step.

---

Part 1: Food Chains

We need to put the pictures in order from producer (plant) → primary consumer → secondary consumer → tertiary consumer.

First food chain (ocean):
Pictures: seal, blue fish, seaweed, shark

- Seaweed is a plant → it’s the producer → goes first.
- Blue fish eats seaweed → primary consumer → second.
- Seal eats fish → secondary consumer → third.
- Shark eats seal → top predator → fourth.

So order:
Seaweed → Blue Fish → Seal → Shark

Second food chain (land):
Pictures: chicken, worm, eagle, leaf

- Leaf is part of a plant → producer → first.
- Worm eats leaves/dead plants → primary consumer → second.
- Chicken eats worms → secondary consumer → third.
- Eagle eats chickens → top predator → fourth.

So order:
Leaf → Worm → Chicken → Eagle

Part 2: Food Web Questions

Look at the arrows — they point from what is eaten TO what eats it.

Producers are plants that make their own food: wildflowers and grass.

Consumers eat other living things: hawk, mouse, rabbit, snake.

Now answer each question:

Question 1: Select producers
→ Producers = wildflowers, grass
*(hawk, mouse, rabbit, snake are animals — not producers)*

Question 2: Select consumers
→ Consumers = hawk, mouse, snake, rabbit
*(wildflowers and grass are producers — don’t select them)*

Wait — the options given for Q2 are:
hawk, wildflowers, mouse, snake, grass, rabbit
We must pick only consumers → so: hawk, mouse, snake, rabbit
But “grass” and “wildflowers” are NOT consumers → exclude them.

Question 3: Which living things do the snake eat?
Look at arrows pointing TO snake:
From diagram: mouse and rabbit have arrows going to snake → snake eats mouse and rabbit.

Question 4: What is eaten by the rabbit?
Arrows pointing FROM something TO rabbit:
Wildflowers and grass have arrows going to rabbit → rabbit eats wildflowers and grass.

Final Answer:

Food Chain 1 (Ocean):
Seaweed → Blue Fish → Seal → Shark

Food Chain 2 (Land):
Leaf → Worm → Chicken → Eagle

Food Web Answers:

1. Producers: grass, wildflowers
2. Consumers: hawk, mouse, snake, rabbit
3. Snake eats: mouse and rabbit
4. Rabbit eats: wildflowers and grass
