Communities

A habitat is where a plant or animal lives. Each habitat has the right conditions for each organism to survive and grow. An organism needs 5 things to survive in its habitat: - Food

- Shelter

- Water

- Space

- Air

Habitats will vary depending on the organism you are looking at. Below are some example of how difference each habitat can be.

Food Chains

Food chains show the way living things in a community depend on each other for food. They are made up of different groups of organisms called

* Producers * Consumers * Herbivores * Carnivores *Omnivores * Decomposers

To find out more about these groups that make up a food chain click on the link below.

When making a food chain you need to remember what how to make them. Each food chain must start with a Producer (plant), an organism that uses the sun to produce its own food. The arrow shows what it is eaten by, which is a herbivore or a plant eater. This is then eaten by a carnivore which is a meat eater.
