Session Outline

This session will outline the differences between animals who eat meat, plants, or both.

Children will understand the terms 'carnivore', 'herbivore', and 'omnivore'. They will look at how their teeth help them eat.

With the use of artefacts and pictures, the session will also look at how certain animals hunt, and how prey protect themselves from predators. KS2 will also learn a basic food chain.
