🌿 Food Chains & Ecosystems

Grade 6 Life Science β€’ Roosevelt SEIS

Today we will learn:


🌱 What is a food chain?

🦁 Who eats who?

πŸ”„ How energy moves through nature

πŸ”— What is a Food Chain?

A food chain shows how energy passes from one living thing to another.

🌱 Producers

The food chain starts here!

Producers make their own food using sunlight.

They are always plants!

🍽️ Consumers

Animals that eat other living things

🐰
Herbivore
Eats ONLY plants
🦁
Carnivore
Eats ONLY meat
🐻
Omnivore
Eats BOTH plants & meat
πŸ€” Think-Pair-Share
What type of consumer are YOU? πŸ”πŸ₯—

⚑ Energy Pyramid

Energy decreases as you go up!

🦁 Top Predators (least energy)
🐰 Consumers (some energy)
🌱 Producers (most energy)

Only 10% of energy passes to the next level!

πŸ„ Decomposers

Nature's recyclers!

Decomposers break down dead plants and animals.

They return nutrients to the soil!

Producers = Plants that make their own food
2
Herbivores = Animals that eat plants
3
Carnivores = Animals that eat meat
4
Omnivores = Animals that eat both
5
Decomposers = Break down dead things
