Description: Everything needs food. Plants make their own food in their leaves. Then plants are eaten by animals. These animals then become food for other animals making a food chain. In this clip caterpillars and insects eat the plant leaves. These insects are eaten by a bird that is then caught by a cat. All food chains start with the sun. Plants need light to make food. Animals that eat plants are herbivores. Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores.
This clip would be useful when learning about food chains. The examples are clear and well illustrated and the learning points very concise. This clip would also be useful to use for revision purposes.
