Resource Overview
With this video, your class can join poet Martin Kiszko as he investigates urban food chains. Looking up to the sky and down underground, Martin's poem focuses on wildlife commonly found in most British cities. Short and snappy, it's a great accompaniment to any science lesson about living things and their habitats, as well as predator-prey relationships. Use our lesson plan for inspiration, and why not challenge your class to compose their own food chain poems too?
