Food chains: show how plant life and animal life get bridged together by the things they eat.
Like links of a chain
WRITE IN NOTEBOOKFood chains are important to all life on Earth.
Within the chain, all organisms depend on one another to survive

Activity TimeNow we are going to make a food chain together…
You need to fold your paper so that you have FIVE even sections.
Foldable time! Use the paper in your notebookFollow along with teacherFold it like a hotdog. Divide the page into 5 equal
sections
Wait patiently and silently for further instructions.
Draw this on your foldable…

Do we understand…..On one end of the chain we find plant life; at the other end we can find carnivores.
Example: Tigers eat gazelles, and gazelles eat grass.
These organisms are linked together in a food chain.
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
10 MINUTES
COMPLETE QUIET!
Quarter 3 Review How about a round of Jeopardy?
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.
Role of decomposers How return nutrients to the environment Fungi on fallen logs Mold on bread
Bacteria in animal guts Role of bacteria in guts of animals and
plant roots as it helps to recycle matter
Do you think worms and insects are decomposers?

Carbon Cycle Water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and
oxygen are substances cycled between the living and non-living environments.
