If your school does "Thinking Maps", you can do a tree map to classify the different levels of a food chain - give examples of each. Then you can have several pictures of animals, and divide the class into groups. Give each group 4 animals and let them figure out what order of the food chain they are. Then give them 4 strips of paper - make into a paper chain. Write each animal's name (and/or glue picture on) on each piece of the chain. After each group presents theirs to the class, let them tape them to the board. Then discuss what a web is - and how it compares (that's a benchmark for us in our state in 4th grade). You can do it easiest by running a piece of yarn through one loop of a chain, and show how that animal can "overlap" into another food chain - thus creating a web.
