Who eats whom? The food chain

In nature, nothing eats just anything: everyone has its place in a food chain.

🌿 The plant: the cook

It makes its own food with sunlight, water, and air. It is at the beginning of the chain.

🐛 The herbivore

The caterpillar, the rabbit, and the cow eat plants.

🦊 The carnivore

The fox eats the rabbit, the tit eats the caterpillar. And the omnivore, like you, eats a little bit of everything!

♻️ And at the end?

Earthworms and mushrooms turn dead leaves into rich soil, and it all starts over.

🌳 Mission: find a plant in the garden, a small animal that eats it, and another animal that eats that one. Draw your chain with arrows (the arrow points to the one that eats). A leaf looks better with a pocket microscope!
