2) Teacher gives each group with
cards that contain name of plant and
animals. By using the cards, each
group will form a food chain. They
also identify the producer and
consumer.
3) Teacher asks pupils to present
their group work.
Teacher asks chosen pupils to draw

eat at the whiteboard.

pupils to identify producer and
