Purpose

BigIdea

What role do you play in natures delicate balance?

Building Background

• What have you eaten recently

• What articles about food chains have you read recently?

Build Background

• Producers are the plants and vegetables at the beginning of the food chain. They make food with the sun’s energy through a process called photosynthesis.

Build Background

Consumers are the organisms that eat. There are primary and secondary consumers. Primary consumers, also known as herbivores, eat only plants. These include animals such as cows, squirrels, and deer.

Build Background

Secondary consumers, also known as carnivores, eat primary consumers. For example a cat might eat a mouse. Omnivores are consumers that eat plants and animals. Human beings are omnivores.

K W L

I know bugs like to eat the leaves on plantsDeer are not carnivores, they are herbivores. People are at the top of the food chain.Bears eat plants and animals and garbage.Cows eat grass. Grass uses photosynthesis to produce fuels.Radcoons get into garbage.

How does the food chain work?Why does some animals eat different types of animals?Why do some animals eat only one type?Why are there so many deer?What is the web of the food chain?Why do tiny animals eat vegetables?How many types of food chains are there?

Inquiry ProcessWhole-Group Time

• Make a ConjectureA conjecture is a kind of theory, an explanation of something that we suggest

before we have a great deal of evidence. Conjectures can be proved to be right or wrong, or they can be modified in some way by the evidence.

Example:How does gravity affect energy in things that are not alive? I am not sure, but I

think that what causes a rock to roll down a hill is not just that someone has pushed it. Gravity also pulls the rock down the hill. /But if the rock is heavy, it might not be pulled as fast a lighter rock.

The first pat of the conjecture is accurate, butthe second part is not.Record your conjecture on a paper and post it on the Concept/Question Board.

Writing an Informative Report

An informative report is where students answer questions about something they are interested in by gathering information and presenting it

Caution:Be careful not to choose a topic that is too big.

Narrow your topic to one you can cover in the assigned length of time.

Be careful about organization. Decide on your topics, subtopics, and details you want to include.
