RECAP!!!There are three types if Consumers in the animal
kingdom.Herbivores Animals that eat only plants.Carnivores Animals
that eat only animals.Omnivores Animals that eat both animals AND
plants. Humans are also Omnivores.
WHAT ARE CONSUMERS AND PRODUCERS?A consumer is a person or thing
that dont make their own food.A producer is a person or thing that
makes or grows goods or their own food.
ASSIGNMENT ONE
http://foodchainactivities.blogspot.com/2016/11/activity-one-distinguishing-between.htmlThis
student will have to distinguish which of the living things in the
worksheet are consumers and which are producers.
Every living things need energy in order to live. All living
things get energy from thefood they eat.Plants use Sunlight, water
and nutrients to get energy (in a process called Photosynthesis).
Energy is necessary for living beings to grow.
TROPHIC LEVELS Primary producers Organisms that make their own
food from sunlight and are the base of every food chain.Primary
Consumers are animals that eat primary producers also call
Herbivores (plant-eaters).Secondary consumers eat primary
consumers. They are Carnivores (meat-eaters) and Omnivores (eat
both plants and animals). Tertiary Consumers eats secondary
consumers.
WHAT ARE FOOD CHAINS?A Food Chain shows how each living thing
gets food, and how nutrients and energy passes from creature to
creature. Food Chains begin with plant-life, and end with
animal-life.Some animals eats plants and some animals eat other
animals. Example: Simple Food ChainGrass Rabbit Fox( Means Eaten
By)
ASSIGNMENT TWO
http://foodchainactivities.blogspot.com/2016/11/making-food-chains.htmlThe
students will have to construct a food chain using the following
pictures from the worksheet.
FOOD WEB A food web (or food cycle) is the natural
interconnection of food chains.
DECOMPOSERSDecomposers are Bacteria and Fungi because they eat
decaying matter-dead plants and animals and in the process they
break them down.They release nutrients and mineral salts back into
the soil which then will be used by plants!
ASSIGNMENT THREEThe students will get into their groups and come
up with a food chain on their own, drawing it onto paper.
