Food Chaina series of organisms that
depend on one another for food
Food Weba group of food chains that
overlap
![Page 13: The study of the ecosystem Chapter 7: Ecology. What is an Ecosystem? Big Idea ?](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649cd65503460f9499d19b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Energy Pyramid
a diagram showing how much energy is passed
from one organism to the next in a food chain
****************the further along the food
chain you go, the less food (and hence energy)
remains available.

Standards
S4L2ab: Students will identify factors that affect the survival or extinction of organisms such as adaptation, variation of behaviors (hibernation) and external features (camouflage and protection). S4CS1abcd: Students will be aware of the importance of curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in science and will exhibit these traits in their own efforts to understand how the world works. S4CS3.1abcd: Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating objects in scientific activities utilizing safe laboratory procedures. S4CS4a: Students will use ideas of system, model, change, and scale in exploring scientific and technological matters. S4CS5abc: Students will communicate scientific ideas and activities clearly. S4CS6ab: Students will question scientific claims and arguments effectively.
