Naming Parts of a Food Web

Take a peek into a temperate forest ecosystem with this food web worksheet! To begin, students will study the food web in order to identify producers and consumers. Then, learners will determine whether certain consumers are carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or decomposers.

This worksheet can help fourth and fifth graders understand the different types of organisms in a food web and how they interact with one another. Each organism plays a different role in an ecosystem, and food webs are a great way to illustrate how organisms rely on one another to maintain balance. Familiarity with food webs will be beneficial as students learn more about ecosystems and adaptations.
