The main source of energy for life on Earth comes from the Sun. Plants use light energy from the sun to make food.

Objective: Food Chains Essential Question: What is a food chain? Warm-Up: Answer the following questions in complete sentences: How are plants and animals.

Producers, Consumers, Decomposers Its all about what you eat!

Chapter 3: Section 2. What are the six major levels of organization, from smallest to largest, that ecologists commonly study? 1.________________________________.

A producer is an organism that gets its energy from the sun. Example: sunflower plant.

Do Now Question Give 5 examples of biotic factors and 5 examples of abiotic factors. 10/2.

Decomposers are organisms that eat dead or decaying organisms. They carry out the natural process of decomposition. Fungi is the primary and most common.

Interactions Among Living Things. Classifications of animals: herbivores herbivores – animals that eat only plants carnivores carnivores – animals that.

SOL 3.5 3rd Grade Science Presentation by Elaine Bennett Food Chains SOL 3.5 3rd Grade Science Presentation by Elaine Bennett

Producers Make their own food Plants are Producers They make their food from the SUN, WATER, and NUTRIENTS in the soil

Consumers Can’t make their own food Need to get food from other animals or plants 3 types of Consumers Herbivores Carnivores Omnivores

Consumers- Herbivores Eat only plants Deer Cows Mice

Consumers- Carnivores Eat other animals (meat) Known as Predators- catch and kill their Prey (the animal that is eaten) Tigers Frogs (eat flies) Sharks

Consumers- Omnivores Eat both plants and animals Humans Raccoons Bears Pigs

Decomposers Eat dead plants and animals Help clean up dead bodies Fungi (mushrooms) Bacteria Worms

Food Chain All of these organisms interact to form a food chain Almost always stars with a plant (a producer) An herbivore eats the plant, then a carnivore eats the herbivore Grass mouse fox producer…consumer….consumer

Food Webs Many animals are involved in Food Webs. More than one consumer eats the same type of food. Consumers also eat many types of foods.

Food Web Example -Producer leaf, grass -Consumer(herbivore) caterpiller,cricket,mouse -Consumer (carnivore) robin, spider, fox, bear -Decomposer fungi, bacteria *remember, decomposers eat dead animals

Summary The students learned that all of the organisms on Earth are connected through the food chain. Humans are even part of it. We eat plants and animals. If we lived in the wild, we may become prey to larger animals (sharks)

Mini-Quiz Let’s See What You Remember!

Which One is a Producer?

Oops…try again! *hint: where does a producer get its food from?

Correct!

What type of organisms eat dead plants and animals? Pick one Carnivores Omnivores Decomposers Herbivores

Oops…try again!

Correct!

Which organism is eaten? Predator or Prey

Oops…try again!

Correct!

What do omnivores eat? Meat Plants Plants and animals Potato chips

Oops…try again!

Correct!

Nice Job!! Quiz completed Don’t forget to visit the cool websites about the food chain Visit the library and find a book about your favorite animal What kind of food does it eat? Does anything eat that animal?

SOL 3.5 The student will investigate and understand relationships among organisms in aquatic and terrestrial food chains a. producer, consumer, decomposer b. herbivore, carnivore, omnivore c. producer, prey
