Warm UpList (use notes if needed)
3 animals that eat only plants and grass
3 animals that eat only meat
3 animals that eat both
Take out the sheet that we worked on last classLet’s go over our answers!
Let’s remind ourselves how the food chain works
energy
Energy returned to the environment

There is something similar to a food chain and it’s called……
Write on worksheetk.Food Webs:More complex than food chains. Ecosystems consist of many food chains
linked togetherAll organisms depend on one another for
survival

chain?What organisms did you recognize from the
video?What new organisms did you learn about?

Food Webs: Think about how things are connected by what they eat!
Remember the food chain?energy

Let’s Look at the Role of decomposersThey return nutrients to the environment
Examples:Fungi on fallen logsMold on breadFlies, maggots, and other insects of dead
animals.

Do you think worms and insects are decomposers?

Do we understand…..Decomposers connect the ends of the food chains
They are nature’s recyclersThey return nutrients to the soil and environment to be used again
Another type of decomposer:Bacteria in animal gutshttps://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityof

CyclesWho has heard of the water cycle?
What is it?Today we will learn about the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycle.
Carbon Cycle Water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen
are substances cycled between the living and non-living environments.
Time to be an investigator.On your sheet, there will be a number of statements that you will need to find the answers.
First 3 people to get all the answers correct win candy.
Your investigation begins on pg D16-D20Library quiet.You will read the 5 pages on your own and fill in the blanks on the sheet.
When done quietly raise your hand. I will check.
Start work on a Food Chain poster for bonus points on your next quiz if finished.
We will now create a food chain poster
Draw something like this on your poster…energy
Energy returned to the environment

ReviewGreen plants use the sun’s energy directly to
make food. When animals eat green plants and other
animals eat those animals, the energy moves from one living thing to another.
Ultimately all the members of a food chain depend on the energy from the sun.
Food chains are important to all life on Earth.
Within the chain, all organisms depend on one another to survive
