1 Page 1 of 22 «Science Lesson Plans The Fantastic Food Chain and Food Web Extravaganza Published on July 30, 2009 by Savannah Hazelrigg Description GPS Scavenger Hunt Grade Level 3rd grade - 5th grade Lesson Objective Students will understand the interrelatedness of organisms in a food chain, then forming a food web. GLEs Identify sunlight as the primary source of energy plants use to produce their own food b. Classify populations of organisms as producers or consumers by the role they serve in the ecosystem c. Sequence the flow of energy through a food chain beginning with the Sun Depth of Knowledge Level 2 Instructional Strategies Scavenger Hunt, Evaluation Portion of a lesson Time Needed 60 minutes Materials cardstock
2 Page 2 of 22 GPS Unit Academic Vocabulary Science Lesson Plan The Fantastic Food Chain and Food Web Extravaganza The GPS Scavenger Hunt By: Savannah Hazelrigg Students will be engaged in a scavenger hunt to follow-up their discovery of the What s Eating You? unit. St covered all subject matter in order to complete this scavenger hunt. Grade: 5 th beginning of the year: introduction to the GPS Subject: Life Science- Food Chains and Food Webs Teacher Overview: This will be a scavenger hunt around the playground of Sunny Pointe Elementary in the Blue Springs Schoo Students should be put into 6 groups of 3 or 4 students and each group will be given a TEAM NAME. *Lioness Lions *Tall Trees *Ziggy Zebras *Beastly Bears *Fantastic Foxes *Handy Hawks Students will be given a clue in order to start the scavenger hunt. This will help them find their first waypoint Once the students have figured out their first waypoint they will then need to click on find, then waypoint a letter that indicates the correct answer of the question. The GPS will then direct the students to the correct location to where they may find their next waypoint clue. At each station there will be an envelope inside a plastic bag tied to the location. Inside the envelope the stu correct team name on a small sheet. This will have their next clue. Each time the students will answer questions on the clue sheet in order to find their next waypoint letter. The final waypoint for all students will be at the doors in order to return to the classroom.
3 Page 3 of 22 Timeline and Relationship to larger unit: This activity should be done after the What eating you? unit. It w for students to think about vocabulary from the unit. Location of proposed activity identification of unique situations:: This will take place on the playgrou area of sunny Pointe Elementary. Troubleshooting problems: All places chosen have been looked at carefully. They are all part of the playgr Need for assistance from other instructors/parents: I would plan to have an A+ tutor to help me out becau gated. The Fantastic Food Chain and Food Web Extravaganza The GPS Scavenger Hunt By: Savannah Hazelrigg Today you will be a part of a Scavenger Hunt lab that will review what we have learned in the What s Eating Y We will be using a SPECIAL science tool that will help you navigate around our special place to find your nex SPECIAL science tool is called a GPS. This system was created for people like you and I to navigate around more exact locations. You will be put in a group of 2 or 3 friends that will be given a team name. Once you have your team name yo first clue. You must ANSWER the question correctly in order to find your Once you have answ you will then have to search for the waypoint on the GPS 1. Click the highest button on the right of your GPS 3 times. This will take you to the main menu. 2. At the main menu, us the button on the front to scroll down to find, push the front button straight down to 3. This will take you to a new screen, you then need to use the same button to click on waypoints. 4. Once you have found all the waypoints, you will then need to scroll down to find the correct letter that ans There will be an SP in front of every letter. (This stands for Sunny Pointe!) 5. You will repeat these steps until you have completed all 6 stops! While you move from station to station, you need to fill out the GPS chart with the following
