We learned about the food chain in science this week. Every student got to make an interactive model (based on nesting dolls) which illustrated the concept perfectly!
The students LOVED making the animals "eat" the next animal (or grass) in the chain. It comes with lids to keep all the pieces together once it is nested. You can order your own set from Nature Watch.
My freebie today is more seasonal making words sheets. I haven't introduced these yet but I have some smarties than I know are capable.

Hi Jenn, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the nesting food chain idea and so wish that it was part of our grade one science curriculum here in Alberta! Thank you for being so inspiring!
