Unit Overview
In this unit, children explore food chains and will identify the producer, consumers, prey and predators in a range of different food chains. By the end of this step, children should identify plants as producers as they get their energy from the Sun. They should also identify animals as consumers as they get their energy by “consuming” or eating other things.
