Nature Badge - Food Chains


Learn about food chains using this fun, interactive game.  Remember, we don’t have squirrels in Australia, but we do have foxes, (many live here in the outskirts of Brisbane) which were brought to Australia from Europe with the early settlers.  (See below to learn more about the problems foxes cause in Australia)

Foxes eat native plants and animals and compete with native animals which would need the same food to live or space to safely raise their young.  Can you think with what native animals foxes may compete?

Find out more about foxes in Australia through these links:

Have your own copy of Pest patrol, an activity book (with teachers’ resource)

This brings us to the end of our Nature Badge blog for this term.  Until then... all the best.

Message from Wootoo:
Don't forget to be working on your nature badge.  (For the girls to earn the badge they need to have completed at least 10 of the ideas on front/back of the nature badge sheet).
