2. A Science Unit Using Technology A look at our next in-class project

3. The Questions You Will Answer What is a food chain? What is the hierarchy of the food chain?hierarchy What is energy? Why is energy important? What is the primary food source of energy in food chains? What happens to energy as it moves through the food chain? What are producers and consumers? And how are they related to each other?

4. The BIG (essential) Question What is the effect if one part of a food chain is removed?

5. The Plan 1. Lesson 1 in our science books- Food Chains! 2. Take notes, record vocabulary- important! 3. The Experiment! Owl Pellets 4. Use the scientific method 5. Create a newsletter about the experimentnewsletter 6. Create a power point about the unit answering the unit questions.power point 7. Present your power point to the class!

6. How Will you Be Graded? Notes will be graded based on completion, vocabulary, neatness, and importance. Experiment- scientific method worksheet Newsletter- rubricrubric Power Point and oral presentation- rubric rubric Lesson quiz- multiple choice Chapter test- multiple choice and fill in.

8. Yea! Any questions? Aren’t we excited?!?!?!?! Are you ready?

9. Hierarchy A hierarchy is an arrangement of things in a ranked order. Go back to questions
