海洋食物链
Description
Describe a simple ocean food chain: tiny plants (phytoplankton) are eaten by small animals, which are eaten by bigger fish, which are eaten by top predators like sharks — showing that all ocean life depends on others for food
Mastery Evidence
- Describe a food chain with at least three levels
- Identify that ocean food chains start with tiny plants or algae
- Explain that bigger animals eat smaller ones in a chain of dependence
Assessment Prompt
Can your child draw or describe a chain showing how tiny ocean plants are eaten by small creatures, then by bigger fish, then by a shark — explaining that each animal depends on the one before it?
