Foodchains and food webs in primary science

by Sue Barker & Clare Norris.

Even if you have little previous knowledge of ecology, you can equip yourself with photocopiable worksheets, teacher's notes and as much background information as you need to teach practical ecology in the classroom and in the school grounds. All the materials in this book have developed in the classroom. They were originally designed for Keystage 2 of the Science National Curriculum of England and Wales and Scottish Environmental Studies P4 to P7 but there is lot that the teacher could adapt for use with younger children.
