Activity Time! Teacher pass out 5-10 pictures of
animals to groups of about 5 students. Each group should have the same

within their group to the corresponding consumer type.
Teacher should go over correct answers after students are finished labeling

Food Web vs. Food Chain
Food Chain
Food Web Videos
Menu
Food ChainFood Chain: A series of organisms in which one organism obtains energy from another.o Food chains only
show one specific path, one organism consuming another.
Menu
Food WebFood Web: A series of connected food chains.
o A food web is much larger than a food chain because it contains numerous food chains within it.

What kind of Organism?
Menu
Autotrophs Heterotrophs Decomposers
Autotrophs Self-feeding organisms, they are able to
produce their own food using nonliving sources.
Examples: Plants, Bacteria, Flowers, Moss
Menu
Heterotrophs Other-feeding organisms, they must eat
other organisms to survive.
Examples: Lions, Birds, Cows, Dogs
Menu
Decomposers Organisms that consume dead or waste
materials.
Examples: Fungus, Dung Flies, Wood Lice
