Common questions

What do Year 7 students learn about ecosystems & food chains?

Food chains and webs, habitats, adaptations and interdependence. At Year 7, our resources focus on: identifying producers, consumers and decomposers in a food web; tracing food chains and naming trophic levels; predicting the effect of a population change on a food web; calculating energy transfer between trophic levels.

Where should we start?

Start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet, then move up a level. Finish with the topic test if there is one.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Read the short explanation together before starting the questions.
  2. Where a worksheet suggests a simple experiment at home, try it: seeing beats reading.
  3. Ask "How do you know?" so answers are backed by evidence.
  4. Use the answer sheet to talk about why an answer is right, not just whether it is.
