- Abstract
The article discusses the process of teaching predator-prey relationship through games duly sanctioned by a science teacher. To start with, the teacher must introduce the activity by asking students what they know about what sharks eat. Then, the game called "Sharks and Fishes" get to start, where the teacher is to select six of his students to be sharks. Those students chosen will wear a different color bandanna or scarf to help the fishes remember which shark ate them. After the game, the teacher will then start the proper discussion of predation. He is to ask each student whether she was a predator or prey during the game. After discerning their role during the game, the concept of discussion can be further expanded by initiating another game with mix roles and relationships.
