Let's review what we learned about biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem.

Abiotic factors do the same thing, but they are non-living.
Abiotic factors do the same thing, but they are non-living.
Together, biotic and abiotic factors make up an ecosystem.
Together, biotic and abiotic factors make up an ecosystem.
To survive, biotic factors need abiotic factors.

In the video, we see a simple food chain. The apple tree is the producer, the insects are the primary consumers. The raccoon is a secondary consumer because it eats the insects and the hawk is a tertiary consumer because it eats the raccoon. Poor guy.

We've already discussed that plants are the base of a food chain. Animals that eat those plants are classified as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

After pasting your notes in your notebook, make a chart with three columns, labeled herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. How many of each can you list? Turn and talk to your partner for ideas.
Now make your own food chains in the program below.

Big question: How can I show what a food chain looks like?
Strategy: Synthesis, use what you know to create new food chains.
Let's watch this informative slideshow that futhers explains the relationships in food chains, food webs and the trophic pyramid. You can take notes, but we will answer the eight questions at the end together.

Vocabulary:
Vocabulary:
- autotroph - an organism that is able to make its own food, like plants
- heterotroph - an organism that eats plants or other animals
After pasting your notes in your notebook, draw your own food chain in your notebook. You can use the science library to help you.
Remember: It starts with the sun.
You will need a plant.
You will need consumers.
Don't forget the arrows to show the flow of energy.
