Ecosystems and Food Chains

What have you learned from our study of ecosystems and food chains so far?

Do you still have any questions that haven't been answered yet?

A food chain is like like where a animil eats another animil and that animil eats anuther animil.


What i dont know is dos a food chain go on for ever.

That the ecosytems helps amnils
to eat food and drenk water.

Liam said...

We need predator's are important to the ecosystem.

Kara said...

A food chain is where a bigger anamlie eat's a smaller anamlie.And that's a food chain.

JOSH said...

that a ecosystem is whats around a animal.I dont have any more question.

madison said...

We are part of the food chain.How long can the food chain go?And can it end?

Lily said...

Its like a chain that has abonch of food for the predator.

brooklyn said...

a food chain is where a bigger animal eats a smaller animal and it
keeps on going.

The owl pellet and stuff was really fun. I really like ecosystems too.A food chain is where it basicly starts with the sun.Then plants start to grow.Next, little insects eat the plant to get energy.And then,a little animal like a lizard eats the insect to get more energy. And then, an animal aike deer eats the lizard even more energy. Then a predator swoops down to get it's prey. Then the predator dies and it stars all over again. Thats a food chain!

I laerned that a food web is 2 or more food chains conected together.

Without the food chain there wouldent be living things.I think food chains can get bigger or smaller.

Christian said...

I love Ecosystems because theres lots of Food Chains.A Food Chain is like a chain of foods!

Sean said...

We need predators, because if we didn't have predators then the prey would be running crazy around just like if there was no wolves that ate elk then elk would go crazy and if there were sheep in the area then there would be no food for the sheep and the sheep would die. Also, sometimes if there's too many elk in the area then they could also die of sickness.

Wow, I can really tell Lydia and Sean are paying attention and enjoying this unit in class! Thank you for your great comments, kids :-)

For those of you who wondered about whether food chains could go on forever, have you figured out the answer yet?

I learned that the sun gives energy to all living things,and I learned that if a person kills a consumer then there will be to much pray then the pray will eat a lot of plants then a animal that eats the same food will starve and die because the pray ate all the plants!

I learnd what regergitat means and how a foodchain starts like this first the sun than like a grass hopper eats the grass then a praing mantis eat the grass hopper then a frog eats the praing mantis then the owl eats the frog and then soon (years later) the owl will die and mush roomes will brak uppart the owl wich will give netreeins to the soil and the cicel will start all over again.

Nick said...

For a foodchain you need the sun.Then, the sun shines on a plant(producer).Then, an animal(consumer/herbavore)comes along and eats the plant.After that, a shadow comes behind.A bigger consumer eats the smaller animal.Then, when the animal dies,the mushroom(decomposer)eats that animal.

Lydia said...

A environment is all the living and nonliving things around you, right? A rock is not a living thing.A tree is a living thing. Everyone knows that!:).

Kegan said...

Food chains starts with the sun. Then a producer.Next a omnivore or a herbivore then a carnivore or a omnivore.Last but not least a decomposer.
herbivores,carnivores,and omnivores are consuumers

drew said...

it starts with sun. thin a plant gits inergy from it.then a animl eats it. and a animil eats it.

Amber said...

A food chain is like a perdrs mil every day. If there were no perdor there prey will dubl there speashes and what they eat will be no more of it,and they will diad.there will beno more of there kind. The other animals that eat the same kind of there food will diad and there peredors that eat them will diad to. Last but not leest a bear eats a posom.

madison said...

And also a foodchain is like a foodweb but it is smaller.And two foodchains make a foodweb.How long would it take to make a foodweb?Do ecosystems have foodchains in them?
