Eating the spoils

Harvest the edible foods you have been growing in the allotment. Study, smell and feel them before turning them into a class snack! Why not perform the Food Chain dance to an audience before you eat?

Science Objectives
i) Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other.

ii) Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats.

iii) Describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food.
