Handout: An investigation sheet for the students to complete.
We have previously learned about biodiversity. Ask the children to discuss what is biodiversity. Ask them to work in groups to create their own examples of a food chain and describe how each organism in that chain interacts. Can they build on that chain to make a food web?
Answer questions and take part in activities during the presentation.
Expert Film: This is Mark Knight, who works with the RHS as the Technical Crops Manager at Tangmere. Mark talks about trophic levels.
Career Film: Jonathan Newell works as the Hilltop Live Public Engagement Officer with the RHS.
Watch the film Coordination and Response - Plants - Tropisms - Using the handout identify the trophic levels on food chains by labelling the trophic levels on food chains and pyramids of biomass.
With their talk partners, the children are to go through the quiz at the end of the presentation and answer the questions.
