Food Chain Drawing
Food Chain Drawing
Students will create a food chain with animals from the same ecosystem. Students will draw and label each organism. Students must also label if each organism is a producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, or a decomposer. Students provide an explanation of a green plant's position in the food chain.

Neatness/Accuracy
Excellent
The food chain is drawn neatly and represents animals from the same ecosystem. There are no spelling errors. Energy transfer between organisms is clearly shown with arrows..
Good
The food chain is somewhat neat. Animals could be from the same ecosystem. Some vocabulary words are misspelled, but understandable.
Fair
The food chain shows some neatness, but some organisms drawn are not part of the same ecosystem. There are frequent spelling errors.
Poor
Little effort is shown in drawing the food chain. Drawing is messy and hard to follow. Frequent spelling errors.

Fair
Most organisms have little labeling and little description (except for 1 or 2 organisms).
Poor
Labels and descriptions are missing.
Content/Accuracy
Excellent
All of the food chain connections are displayed accurately and arrows showing the flow of energy through the food chain are correctly shown.
Good
Most of the food chain connections are displayed accurately. Arrows showing the flow of energy through the food chin are correctly shown.
Fair
2-3 of the food chain connections are displayed accurately. Arrows showing the flow of energy through the food chain are displayed correctly.
Poor
None of the food chain connections are displayed accurately. Arrows showing the transfer of energy are missing.
Knowledge
Excellent
knowledge of a plant's importance in the food chain is clearly stated. Includes the fact that green plants make their own food and pass energy through the food chain.
Good
Explanation of why a green plant is the first part of a food chain is mostly correct. Evidence of understanding is visible.
Fair
Explanation of why a green plant is the first part of a food chain is partially correct. Some errors are evident.
Poor
