✅ Introduces trophic levels in an accessible way (producers and consumers).
✅ Uses illustrated food chains (plant → sloth → harpy eagle) to facilitate understanding.
✅ Explores animal classification (herbivore, carnivore, etc.).
✅ Includes a trophic pyramid activity to visualize feeding levels.
✅ Objective questions that facilitate student decision-making.
✅ Progressive teaching sequence: understand → identify → classify → apply.
✅ Simple language with consistent visual support, reducing abstraction.
✅ Can be used in regular classrooms, AEE, or individual support.
✅ Ready-to-use adapted assessment.
