Food Cycle in the Ocean – 5-LS2-1
Purpose:
This activity teaches students how
the food chain works and how energy is passed on from the smallest organism to the largest.
Materials
●
Colored jerseys
●
Cones
●
Timer
Procedure
1. Students will be assigned an animal, either minnow, trout, or shark. 2. They will
be given a colored jersey that is associated with the animal. 3. There will be 2
sharks, 10 trout, and the rest as minnows. 4. They will be allowed 5 minutes to try
and eat as many minnows or trout as they can. 5. Tagged players will leave the
playing field designated by the cones. 6. Teachers will then ask what they think the
activity replicated.
Rules
●
Minnows must avoid being eaten(tagged) by the trout.
●
Trouts must try to eat minnows and avoid sharks which will eat them.
●
Sharks can eat both minnows and trot.
●
Tagged players must exit the playing field designated by the cones.

Food Web Activity 5-LS2-1
Purpose: This activity is designed to teach students how matter and energy travel through the
ecosystem, from a simple bacteria all the way to a full grown animal.
Procedure
Students will be split into three groups. Each group will research one top predator and design a food
web that begins with decomposers and ends with the predator.
Example:
:
Design a food web and tells their relationships:

Please review the following website for full unit:
http://ngss-k-5-ausd.weebly.com/5-matter-and-energy-inorganisms-and-ecosystems.html
Week 5
State of Matter Activity 5-LS2-1
Objective: Demonstrate a solid, a liquid, and a gas. Compare and contrast.
Solid: Fill a paper cup with water. Mark the level of the water with a magic marker.
Place in the freezer overnight. Tear paper off of the ice. Have students watch ice as
the day goes by and note their findings. Ice is a solid. It is still water, just in a
different state.
Liquid: As the ice melts above explain to students that it is still water. It went from
liquid in a cup to a hard shape, taking the shape of the cup. After all the ice melts,
pour water back into the cup. Discuss why there is not as much water now, due to
some evaporation.
Gas: Can I blow up a balloon without using my mouth?
Place 3/4 cup of white vinegar into an empty plastic bottle (small water bottle
works fine). Spoon 2 teaspoons of baking soda into a balloon. Stretch the balloon
over the mouth of the bottle keeping the balloon to the side of the bottle. Pull the
balloon up straight over the bottle, allowing the baking soda to enter into the
vinegar. Step back and watch as the balloon inflates with carbon dioxide.
(Discuss that this is a gas that is made by combining the baking soda and vinegar.)
