Overview:
A reading sheet designed to explore the concept of energy flow within a food chain, focusing on producers, consumers, and decomposers. Designed for upper years students.
Learning Objectives:
How the Activity Works:
Students read a passage that explains the roles of producers (e.g., plants), consumers (e.g., herbivores, carnivores), and decomposers (e.g., fungi, bacteria) in a food chain. The reading will cover how energy is transferred from one organism to another, beginning with the sun and moving through different trophic levels. After reading, students can reflect on how each type of organism contributes to the energy flow in an ecosystem. This reading sheet helps deepen students’ understanding of food chains and energy dynamics in ecosystems.
