Rainforest Lesson 2: Food Webs and Chains
by Mandy Heal
This is lesson 2 in a series of 4 lessons about the rainforest. In jigsaw groups, students create a food web about one of the 4 layers of the rainforest on a Google Slide or Prezi. Students go back to their primary group and teach them about the food web in their layer. Finally, students choose one food chain from their layer with their research group and create a food chain parade using a Sphero. Students narrate and video their food chain parade. Links to all lessons in the series along with a variety of resources are included!
