    What is a Food Chain?


    A food chain is the path by

    which energy passes from one living thing to another.

    Whats in a Food Chain?

    Producers
    Consumers

    All energy comes from the sun

    Plants use the suns energy to make food

    Producers
    Producers make their own

    food

    Green plants use energy Producers are on the

    from the sun to make food bottom of the food chain

    Consumers
    Consumers hunt, gather, and store food because they cannot make their own.

    Three Types of Consumers

    Herbivores Carnivores Omnivores

    Herbivores
    Animals who eat plants

    such as:

    grasshoppers rabbits squirrels deer pandas

    Carnivores
    Animals who only eat other

    animals such as:


    tigers lions hawks wolves cougars

    Omnivores
    Animals who eat both plants

    and animals such as:


    humans bears

    Lets Look at a Food Chain


    A food chain is

    a simplified way to look at the energy that passes from producers to consumers.

    A Basic Food Chain


    Plants absorb light from the sun. We call these producers.

    The animals eat the plants, they are called consumers.(herbivore)

    Consumer(omnivore)

    Sort these animals into a food chain..

    Can you think of a food chain of your own?

    Types of Food Chains


    Aquatic- Water-related food

    chains with sea plants and animals

    Terrestrial- Land-related

    food chains with land plants and animals

    Predator & Prey


    Predator- An

    animal that hunts and eats other animals Prey- The animal that is eaten

    What is a Food Web?


    Several food chains linked

    together

    A predator from one food

    chain may be linked to the prey of another food chain

    Food Webs
    How many food chains can you

    make from this food web?
