SITTING IN YOUR ASSIGNED SEATS…. STUDYING QUIETLY FOR YOUR QUIZ: Covers photosynthesis, transpiration, and cellular respiration ***You will not be given time to review once the bell rings***

 5 minutes  Work on this crossword independently…

 Warm Up  Complete quiz on photosynthesis, transpiration and cellular respiration  Complete 5 question EOG review  Begin next unit 6.L.2.1

 Eliminate answer choices, make your best educated guess if you are unsure….  Check over all your answers and make sure you answered every question!  YOU MAY WRITE ON THE TEST 25 Minutes for Quiz – when you finish put your quiz inside your folder and continue working on your crossword puzzle until the timer sounds

 You will take this short 5 question review assessment  Do your best! This is very important!  Put inside your folder when done

 Add entry to Table of Contents  6.L.2.1 Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers in Food Webs and Chains  Assign the next number

 Label Next Available Page:  6.L.2.1 Producers, Consumers,and Decomposers in Food Webs and Chains  Number page to match Table of Contents entry  Circle the number

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

 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

 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?  ms/science/ecosystems/food-chains.htm ms/science/ecosystems/food-chains.htm

 PRODUCERS: Make their own food through photosynthesis (remember the equation)  Examples:  Green Plants  Algae

 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

 CONSUMERS: eat other organisms

 Primary Consumers =Eat Producers  Secondary Consumers =Eat Primary Consumers  Tertiary Consumers = Eat Secondary Consumer

 CONSUMERS: 3 TYPES

 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

 2. CARNIVORES: animals that eat mainly meat  Meat = insects and animals  Carnivores examples (write 5)  Felines (lions, tigers)  Eagles, hawks, owls  Sharks  Frogs  Spiders

 3. OMNIVORES: organisms that eat plants and animals  Omnivore Examples:  Humans (not vegetarians)  Most Bears  Raccoons  Most primates (apes and monkeys)  Seagulls

 DECOMPOSERS: They eat dead plants and animals and break them down (decompose)  Decomposers return nutrients back to the environment.  Examples include:  Fungi  Bacteria

 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.

 Now we are going to make a food chain together…

energy Energy returned to the environment energy

 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

 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.

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