1. Bell Work
Draw a food chain using the following organisms, and label each as a producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and tertiary consumer.
Rabbit
Fox
Carrot
Cougar
Where does energy start for every food chain?

4. The Carbon Cycle
The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon moves though the planet in its different forms.
It exists in an ecosystem in two main forms:
Organic (plant/animal material, sugars, fats…)
Inorganic (carbon dioxide, limestone rock)

5. Plants and Animals
Plants and animals rely on one another for survival.
Can you think of a way plants rely on animals?
Can you think of a way animals rely on plants?

6. Plants and Photosynthesis
Plants remove carbon from the atmosphere
Carbon in the atmosphere exists as carbon dioxide (CO2)
Plants take in carbon dioxide and use it to create glucose and oxygen
Water + Carbon Dioxide + Energy  glucose + oxygen
From the sun

8. Animals and Cellular Respiration
Animals release carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2
They do so by the process of cellular respiration
Glucose + oxygen  energy + carbon dioxide + water

9. What do you notice? Glucose + oxygen  energy + carbon dioxide + water
water + carbon Dioxide + energy  glucose + oxygen
Glucose + oxygen  energy + carbon dioxide + water
