Food Pyramid in the Lake
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11793
Food Pyramid in the Lake (SKU SCL-BLE-11793) is a 70 x 100 cm laminated wall chart that arranges the living things of a freshwater lake into trophic levels, with microscopic algae and water plants at the broad base, small grazers above them and predatory fish at the narrow top. It explains why energy and numbers shrink at each step up. Science Lab Supplies quotes the chart from Ambala, India, and can send it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The lake food pyramid chart is a simple teaching aid, and the table sets out its few facts one per row. In short, it measures 70 x 100 cm, it carries a laminated finish, it is the wall-mounted type and it is meant for laboratories and classrooms.

Applications and Experiments for the Lake Food Pyramid Chart
With the pyramid on the wall, students can name each trophic level in a lake, explain why producers form the widest layer and work out roughly how much energy reaches the top. It supports ecology lessons in secondary science, senior biology and introductory college ecology courses.
- Secondary science: producers, primary, secondary and tertiary consumers in a freshwater habitat.
- Senior biology: pyramids of number, biomass and energy, and the ten per cent rule of energy transfer.
- Top consumers: examining a preserved Fish Dissection specimen to link the pyramid's upper level with real anatomy.
- Base of the pyramid: viewing single-celled organisms such as the Amoeba prepared slide and discussing where they fit.
- Discussion: how pollution or overfishing at one level changes the shape of the whole pyramid.
Standard Scope of Supply
The order covers one laminated chart of the food pyramid in a lake, 70 x 100 cm, ready for wall mounting. Specimens, slides, aquarium containers and the other ecology charts are not included with it, but they can be quoted as separate lines on the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one copy for a biology room or a dozen for several schools, you can ask for a quotation at that quantity. Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for it, and any slides or companion charts can appear on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies is registered with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. A quick way to get a price is to message the team on the contact page or place the chart in the enquiry cart; tender buyers will find the process on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a nutrition food pyramid?
No. The Food Pyramid in the Lake is an ecology chart: it shows the feeding levels of a freshwater lake, from producers at the base to top predators, rather than a human diet guide.
How does it differ from the Food Web in the Lake chart?
Both are laminated 70 x 100 cm wall charts on lake ecology. The web shows the many feeding links between species, while the pyramid groups them into levels to show how energy and numbers decrease upwards.
Can it be displayed permanently?
Yes. It is a wall-mounted chart with a laminated surface, so it can stay on a laboratory or classroom wall as a reference throughout the ecology unit.
Where does the chart come from?
Science Lab Supplies handles quotations and dispatch for it from Ambala, India, and can add it to a wider order of slides and biology charts and models for schools and distributors.
