Hello everyone. A few days ago I posted a target for books/resources to teach the concept of food chains to 3rd graders. Below is a hit of what I received. Thanks so much to those of you who contributed! Nancy Nancy Hally 3rd grade teacher LMS in training Ruby F. Carver Elementary School Henrico County, VA hallynva@aol.com Hi, I would love to see your hit! This is not a book, but an activity that Isaw somewhere. I'm trying to figure out how to adapt it for 3rd grade. Everyone holds onto a rope and each person has a role (some part of the food chain). You arrange them in order. When you give instructions to have one part vanish (make up some reasons - overfishing, pollution, development, etc.), that person sits down, pulling on the rope. Then I think anyone who feels that tug has to sit down too. Before they can get back up, each person has to say how they were affected by the loss and its repercussions. Maybe I'll assign roles and have each person research their ani-mal or insect, etc., before we line up with the rope. Last year I purchased a great series of books called Food Chains in Action, with the following individual titles: Who Eats Who in City Habitats? Snedden ISBN 978-1-58340-965-7 Who Eats Who in Grasslands? Butterfield 978-1-58340-964-0 Who Eats Who in Rivers and Lakes? Campbell 978-1-58340-966-4 Who Eats Who in the Desert? Campbell 978-1-58340-962-2 Who Eats Who in the Rainforest? Snedden 978-1-58340-961-9 Who Eats Who on the Seashore? Butterfield 978-1-58340-963-3 Max Axion- Food Chains He is so cool, the kids LOVE him and the pictures are awesome! Not necessarily an informational book but Dory Story is a great hook for getting students interested! ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
