Food chains - Theresa Greenaway

Animals and plants all need food of some sort, and there are feeding relationships going on all around us. This work examines food chains of different scales, and in different habitats and how the different plants and animals depend on each other for survival, and how taking a link in the chain out can disrupt the whole cycle. The book also explains how humans disrupt natural food chains, and what can be done to protect them.;The "Cycles in Nature" series explores some of the continuous cycles that are happening in nature, from the most familiar to the most hidden links. Readers can discover the different habitats shared by plants and animals, and how they depend on each other for survival, often specially adapted to their environment. Each title looks at the way human action disrupts natural cycles, and what can be done to protect them.;There is project work throughout and curriculum support for KS2 science using a hands-on approach: life processes, green plants as organisms, living things in their environments and materials and their properties.
