Fun with Food Webs

Readers get a detailed look at some of the producers, consumers, and apex predators that make up mountain food webs in this guide to a common science curriculum topic. By combining basic information about the parts of food webs with fun animal facts and photographs, this volume captivates not just budding biologists, but even reluctant readers. They delight in exploring the fact boxes that break down predator-prey relationships and the critical-thinking questions that invite them to apply what they've learned to the world around them. Vibrant visual representations of food chains and food webs further enhance this learning experience.

Rainforests are some of the most biodiverse places on the planet, which means they're home to an incredible number of living things. One of the ways we can understand how those living things are connected is by mapping out food chains and food webs. As readers build a rainforest food web, they also learn fun facts about important producers, consumers, and apex predators in the rainforest. The informative text is presented alongside vivid photographs, fact boxes, and helpful examples of food chains and food webs. Readers even explore critical-thinking questions related to this science curriculum topic.

It may seem like there's very little life in the desert. However, many living things call this biome home! Readers meet them as they explore the food chains that connect to form a detailed desert food web. Examples of producers, consumers, and apex predators are presented through at-level text and vivid photographs. In addition, fact boxes highlight the relationships between living things in the desert-including what eats what! Clearly labeled food chains and food webs are included to help readers visualize this concept, and critical-thinking questions invite them to apply what they've learned to the world around them.

Grasslands are home to a wide variety of living things-from plants that cover the landscape to animals that eat those plants-and each other! Readers explore the relationships between the living things in this biome through the lens of food chains and food webs. This essential biology topic is presented in a fresh way, with a focus on specific producers, consumers, and apex predators. These living things are introduced to readers using achievable text, simple fact boxes, and vibrant photographs. After learning about the creatures that call grasslands home, readers see how they're connected in a large food web.

What do seals eat? Can anything eat a polar bear-or an orca? Readers discover the answers to these questions and more in this vibrant guide to the food chains and food webs that connect living things in the Arctic. Clear, concise main text introduces readers to the producers, consumers, and apex predators that call this frigid landscape home, and helpful visual depictions of food chains and webs allow readers to better understand the relationships between these groups. Colorful photographs and fact boxes give readers a detailed look at some of the coolest creatures that live in this extreme environment.

What kinds of living things make up a forest food web? Readers find out with the help of this handy guide. Essential life science curriculum topics such as photosynthesis, food chains, and predator-prey relationships are explained in a creative way as readers meet unique examples of forest producers, consumers, and apex predators. Fact boxes and full-color photographs are paired with simple, clear text, and basic food chains and food webs are presented to help readers visualize what they're reading about. Interactive questions are also included to sharpen critical-thinking skills and encourage readers to stay curious about the world around them.
