5 Portfolio: Make your own food chain. Draw a diagram and add pictures and labels. Present your food chain to the class.

Portfolio Task: Food Chain Project

This task requires you to visually represent a food chain. You will need to:

• 1. Design a Food Chain: Choose a series of organisms where each is eaten by the next in the chain. This typically starts with a producer (like a plant), followed by a primary consumer (herbivore), a secondary consumer (carnivore or omnivore), and potentially a tertiary consumer.
• 2. Create a Diagram: Draw the food chain, using arrows to show the flow of energy from one organism to the next.
• 3. Add Pictures: Include illustrations or images of each organism in your food chain.
• 4. Include Labels: Clearly label each organism with its name and its role in the food chain (e.g., producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer).
• 5. Present to the Class: Be prepared to explain your food chain to your classmates, detailing the relationships between the organisms.

Example Structure:

Sun → Grass (Producer) → Grasshopper (Primary Consumer) → Frog (Secondary Consumer) → Snake (Tertiary Consumer)
