First Grade Science | Unit 5 | Food Chains & Food Webs — Week 1

Who eats what in the woodland—and how do we know?

Turn that question into five hands-on science lessons with Wonder Detectives Academy. Children use picture clues, move woodland cards, build feeding models, explain their arrows, and revise their thinking when new information arrives.

Detective Fox and Professor Owl launch the learning with an illustrated story. Partners then match food and eaters, connect simple chains, explore a robin’s different foods, and repair a model using evidence. Rich crayon illustrations and clear visual directions make the science easy to see and discuss.

Your package includes:

• Five 30-minute lessons for Days 1–5
• Concrete teacher think-alouds and partner investigations
• Five illustrated activities: Lunch Match, Arrow Detectives, Chain Builders, Robin Menu, and Model Repair Shop
• An illustrated Fox and Owl science story
• 12 woodland picture cards, 13 feeding clues, and 12 arrow strips
• Two reusable model-building mats
• Teaching keys, language support, extension prompts, and an observation record
• Setup, safety, projection guidance, and a no-cut option

Make one kit and use it throughout the week. Project the visuals, print only what you need, and use optional page protectors to make the mats reusable. Children demonstrate understanding through building, pointing, talking, and explaining.
