Question types: Put the food chain in order

Rule: Food chains

A food chain always starts with a plant: it makes its own food from light, water and air.

The arrow shows who is eaten by whom: grass → grasshopper → frog → stork.

Example: acorn → mouse → owl

Watch out: Don’t start with an animal: the first is always a plant, and at the end is a predator nothing hunts.
