Food Chains in Nature: Drawing Connections and Understanding Energy Flow

The video tutorial introduces students to the concept of food chains, explaining how energy is transferred from the sun to plants, then to consumers like ants, and finally to predators like armadillos. The teacher guides students in drawing a food chain and highlights the importance of non-living elements such as water, air, and soil in supporting life. Students are instructed to take notes, draw diagrams, and submit their work via Schoology.
