17. 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.

18. Your investigation begins on pg D16-D20 Library 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.

19. We will now create a food chain poster

20. Draw something like this on your poster… energy Energy returned to the environment energy

21. Review Green 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.

23. Food chains are important to all life on Earth. Within the chain, all organisms depend on one another to survive
