Carnivores, Herbivores, Omnivores?

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Most animals can be grouped by what and how many kinds of foods they eat.

On remote islands like American Samoa, there are limited food supplies, and cyclones can cause serious shortages of food.
