Goal Today: understand that energy flows through ecosystems in one direction, from the sun through producers to consumers to decomposers.

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

ECOSYSTEMS: all the living things (plants, animals, and organisms) interacting with each other in a given location

These plants and animals depend on each other to survive.

Aquatic Ecosystems

Marine Ecosystems

Video to introduce Unit…

Keep these questions in mind…. 1. What are producers, consumers

and decomposers? 2. How is energy transferred within

a system and between organisms? 3. Why are decomposers important

to this transfer of energy? http://

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

PRODUCERS: Make their own food through photosynthesis (remember the equation)

Examples: Green Plants Algae

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

PRODUCERS: able to make food, use it immediately or store it to use later

Food made by producers = fuel and energy for consumers

Energy moves between organisms and the environment

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

CONSUMERS: eat other organisms

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

Primary Consumers =Eat Producers

Secondary Consumers =Eat Primary Consumers

Tertiary Consumers = Eat Secondary Consumer

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

CONSUMERS: 3 TYPES

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

1. HERBIVORES: animals that mainly eat PLANTS

Plants = leaves, grass, flowers, seeds, roots, fruits and more

Herbivore Examples (write down 3) Deer Horses Rabbits Cows Bees Sheep Grasshoppers

HERBIVORES

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

2. CARNIVORES: animals that eat mainly meat

Meat = insects and animals

Carnivores examples (write 5) Felines (lions, tigers) Eagles, hawks, owls Sharks Frogs Spiders

Omnivores

3. OMNIVORES: organisms that eat plants and animals

Omnivore Examples: Humans (not vegetarians) Most Bears Raccoons Most primates (apes and monkeys) Seagulls

Omnivores

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

DECOMPOSERS: They eat dead plants and animals and break them down (decompose)

Decomposers return nutrients back to the environment.

Examples include: Fungi Bacteria

Foldable time!

Use the paper in your notebook Follow along with teacher Fold it like a hotdog. Divide the page into 5 equal sections

Wait patiently and silently for further instructions.

Activity Time

Now we are going to make a food chain together…

Draw this on your foldable…

energy

Energy returned to the environment

energy energy energy

Now it’s your turn…

You have 5 minutes….

Write down 1 producer, 3 consumers, and 1 decomposer.

Consumers…think of 1 herbivore, 1 omnivore, and 1 carnivore that belong together (think of things that belong together, like a eating a mouse but DO NOT use that example)

Now write them down in your notebook

Now it’s your turn… You have 1 producer, 3 consumers, and 1

decomposer. Fold your paper like we did before Outside:

All 5 flaps are labeled. All 5 flaps have a drawing. Energy flow arrows are included.

Inside: Each type is defined. You explained your food chain and how the

organism fits in it.

Let’s Test our Knowledge

Turn to the person next to you and do your BEST to explain your foldable and the different organisms you selected.

Volunteers?!

Ecosystems

What is an ecosystem?
