About This Resource

Food chain challenge! Students are asked to imagine what food they would eat if had to eat the same thing everyday. They are then challenged to create a food chain from source to table for that food and compare the food chain with that of a right whale. *This activity is easily adaptable to multiple grade levels.* Each activity is linked to a piece of media.
