Example — Lesson Plan

"5th grade science, ecosystems, 45 minutes, include a hands-on activity"

Objective: Students will identify the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers and explain how energy flows through an ecosystem.

Warm-Up (5 min): Show a short video clip of a forest and ask: “What would happen if every decomposer disappeared?”

Activity — The Web of Life (20 min): Each student gets a card with an organism. Students hold yarn and physically connect to what they eat. When one “organism” drops the yarn, students observe the web collapsing.

Exit Ticket: “Name one producer, one consumer, and one decomposer.”

Differentiation: Organism cards with pictures for ELL students. Extension: add a second food web layer.

Generated in ~12 seconds. Ready to use.
