Food Chain & Adaptations
Model food chains and test how different 'beak' shapes help animals catch specific prey. Simulate ecosystem relationships and survival adaptations. Covers ecology and evolution.
Recommended for ages 3-5
About This Kit
Create ecosystem models using animal figures and different tool 'beaks' to simulate feeding adaptations. Test which beak shapes work best for different prey types. Covers food webs, predator-prey relationships, natural selection, and survival adaptations. Introduces ecosystem balance and evolutionary concepts.
Learning Outcome
Learner models predator-prey and sees how adaptations aid survival
What's Inside
Plastic animals, tweezers/spoons as 'beaks', paper insects
