Grade 5 Mystery Science with Ms. Charboneau
Ms. Charboneau's learners completed a Mystery Science unit on food chains. The students learned about predators, prey, producers and different types of consumers (carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores), as well as how a food chain works. The lesson continued with introducing and playing the card game Eat or be Eaten (It was a HUGE hit!), where players try to create the longest food chain. The unit was wrapped up by each student creating their own food chain to show their knowledge and understanding. On 12x18 sized construction paper, our explorers chose their main consumer, followed by two other consumers and a producer.
