A food chain is a model. It shows how living things get the food they need. Sometimes one living thing is food for many animals. Then the living thing is part of many food chains. When food chains are put together, they form a food web.

What food chains make up Emma's food web?
Which living things are part of each food chain?
How are the foods that you eat for lunch related?
