This Week in Science: Energy Transfer

We drew a food chain and a energy pyramid with the organisms in our fantasy habitat. We had to write definitions of words used in a food chain and energy pyramid. We wrote different names for the subjects on our food chain. We also had time to make up work.

We learned how energy pyramids show the amount of energy that is consumed when organisms are consumed. We also learned that food webs are a set of interconnected food chains that show the feeding relationships in an ecosystem. We learned how energy transfers from organism to organism in a food chain.
