TM Food-Chain Game The Food-Chain Game involves different populations of organisms. Rules: a. Grasshoppers can feed only on the popcorn plants on the ground. Frogs can feed only on grasshoppers. Hawks can feed only on frogs. b. Animals that are eaten hand over their stomachs to the animal that ate them and wait on the sideline until the next round. c. Several rounds of the game will be played. d. All students must play by the rules and play fairly. plant grasshopper Structures of Life, 3. 5: Food Chains Steps 3– 12 frog hawk Slide 6

TM Sustaining a Food Chain What animals are predators in this food chain? What animals are prey? What population sizes of grasshoppers, frogs, and hawks produced a sustainable food chain? What other things helped to sustain this food chain? plant grasshopper Structures of Life, 3. 5: Food Chains Step 14 frog hawk Slide 9

TM Sustaining a Food Chain What might happen if there were only half as many popcorn plants? No plants? If there were no frogs, what might happen to the plant population? The grasshopper population? The hawk population? In real life, do you think one hawk, two frogs, and two grasshoppers is a sustainable food chain? plant grasshopper Structures of Life, 3. 5: Food Chains Step 14 frog hawk Slide 10

TM Sustaining a Food Chain What general rule describes how to sustain a food chain and keep the system stable? If we think back to the food chain with elodea, crayfish, raccoons, and coyotes, how many crayfish do you think it would take to sustain that food chain?
