Food Chains on the Farm (Ages 7+)
Let’s take a look at the food chains around the farm! We’ll look at how and what different animals eat to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Students will get to see physical models of animal teeth and get a chance to feed our animal friends on the farm. We’ll also learn how these animals helped out in the past and how it might be different today!
