Food Webs/Chains: Producer/Consumer Collage

A simple activity to make sure students know the difference between producers and consumers. An activity in and of itself for younger students. For older students, a way to check mastery of the terminology before delving into more complex relationships.

Divide a piece of paper in half. Label one side “producer” and the other side “consumer”. Search through magazines and newspapers to find images and/or words that name producers and consumers. Cut out and glue to the appropriate side of the paper. You may choose to add a “decomposers” category as well.
