Food Chain (level 1)

Ever heard of a food chain?

All organisms are part of a food chain to get their energy, so they are able to for example grow or move.

The food chain starts with organisms that get their energy from the light, like plants and plant-plankton. These are often eaten by herbivores (plant-eaters). These herbivores are often eaten by carnivores (meat-eaters) after which some carnivores are eaten by other carnivores.

Try to fill in the following words and make a food chain that belongs to most of the toothed whales.

1)

•  Fish
•  Phytoplankton (plant-plankton)
•  Sea Gull
•  Zooplankton (animal-plankton)

•  Orca
•  Krill
•  Seal

• Shrimp

•  Human being
•  Jellyfish
•  Zooplankton (animal-plankton)
