The document outlines a science lesson plan on food chains and food webs, with the learning outcomes being that students can construct food webs in pond and farm habitats by identifying 3 food chains and the producers and consumers. The lesson involves students observing animal pictures and cards, discussing food chains in groups, constructing sample food webs, and working cooperatively to build their own food webs in different habitats.
Framing an Appropriate Research Question 6b9b26d93da94caf993c038d9efcdedb.pdf
Construct Food Webs and Chains in Different Habitats
1. Subject:Science
Class:5(7)
Date/Time: 8.9.2011(Thursday)
Number of students: 48
Theme:Inverstigating living things
Learning area:Food chain and food web
Learning outcome:At the end of the lesson , pipils should be able to
1. Construct a food web clearly in pond habitat from identifying 3
food chain .
2. Construct a food web clearly in farm habitat ifying 3 food
chains .
3. Identify clearly the producer and consumers when constructing
a food web.
Science process skill:Observing,communicating,making inferences.
Prior knowledge:Pupils have discussed food chains in the previous
lessons.
Critical and creative thinking:
Relating,sequencing,synthesising,generating idea .
Science Attitudes and noble values:Be cooperate when doing
discussion,do not destroy animal’s habitat.
Environmental study:Pupils become aware of the role of each animal
and plant plays in maintaining the balance of nature .
Teaching and learning aids:Powerpoint,animal
cards,worksheet,animal name cards,arrows cards and sugar paper .

minutes) blackboard. Communicating
2.3pupils are required to go in front TS:
of the class then to open the cover Relating
of the picture.
TLA:
3.3pupils display the animal Animal cards

4.Pupils listen to teacher who
mention that there is one foods
chain.
5.Pupils are asked to observe
when the teacher open another

are shown in this habitat ?
7.Pupils answer 2 food chains in
this habitat.
8.pupils are guided to by teacher to
relate today’s lesson – food web

3.Each group is required to discuss
the questions later. TS:

6.Then,pupils are required to
construct a food web based on the SANV:
food chain stated. Be cooperate

7.Pupils are not allowed to discuss discussion
with another group.
TLA:
8.Pupils and teacher will discuss worksheet
the answer later.
9.Pupils are told to be cooperate
while discussion.
Restructuring 1.Pupils are required to focus on SPS:
of idea the today’s lesson-Food web. Observing
(7minutes) Communicating
2.Pupils study again previous
lesson-food chain to refresh their
knowledge. TS:
Sequencing
3.Pupils are asked by teacher: Synthesising
“What is a food web?” Relating
4.Pupils read together from the
slide(3rd) that a food web consists Teaching
of 2 or more food chains that linked Strategy:
together. Directive
Meditative
5.Pupils are introduced that
different food webs in different
habitat such as forest,pond and TLA:
farm. Powerpoint
6.Pupils listen to teacher who
introduce steps to construct food
webs.
4. 7.Pupils observe the example of
food chains to construct a food
web.
8.Pupils identify producer and
consumers when constructing a
food web.
9.Pupils observe a pond habitat
(worksheet).
10.Pupils identify
producer,secondary consumers
and tertiary consumers from the
pond habitat.
11.Pupils arrange another food
chain together.
12.Pupils tangled up those 3 food
chains into a food web in pond
habitat.
13.Each group take out their
worksheet to check their answers.
Application 1.Pupils are going to carry out a SPS:
of idea group activity. Communicating
(10minutes)
2.Each group is given an envelope TLS:
which contains of 5 animal name Sequencing
cards and arrows cards. Synthsising
Generating
3.Each group is required to idea
construct a food web in a farm
habitat to paste on a sugar paper.
Teaching
4.Pupils are asked to cooperate in Strategy:
the group activity. Cooperative
5. 5.Each group representative to TLA:
display their answer. Animal name
cards
6.Pupils and teacher discuss the Arrow cards
answers together.
Reflection 1.5 pupils are asked to perform the SPS:
(5minutes) food web just now in front of the Observing
class. Communicating
2.Pupils are emphasized by
teacher do not destroy animal TS:
habitat as this will affect their food Relating
chain and food web.
Teaching
3.Pupils listen to teacher for Strategy:
today’s homework. Performing
4.Pupils are guided by teacher to SANV:
conclude today’s lesson. Do not destroy
animal habitat
