Plants are producers, which means they do not eat other living things.
There should not be any plants in a food chain.

How does a caterpillar get energy from the sun?
Caterpillars get energy by burrowing in soil that has been warmed by the sun.
Caterpillars get energy by making their own food using the sun's energy.
Caterpillars get energy by eating plants that turn sunlight into energy.
Caterpillars get energy by sitting in a sunny area for a long time.
What fact is true about consumers?
Gets energy by absorbing the sun's energy

Trillions of tiny organisms called algae live in the ocean. Algae undergo photosynthesis to make the food they need. Krill, a tiny shrimp-like creature, eat the algae, and small fish eat the krill to get the energy they need. In this food chain, what are the algae?
producers
predators
herbivores
carnivores
What provides the energy for ALL of the organisms in a food chain?
carnivore
omnivore
herbivore
sun

Students in Mrs. Campo's class were investigating how long it took an ice cube to melt when it is left near the window. Each group received the following materials: 1 plate, 1 ice cube (5 grams), 1 stopwatch (measures either seconds or minutes & seconds)
Group 1 (3:02) Group 2 (3:12) Group 3 (191) Group 4 (3:06)
Based on the information above, which answer BEST explains the cause of the different results between the four groups?
Group 3 most likely used a larger ice cube than the other groups.
Group 3 most likely forgot to put their plate near the window.
Group 3 most likely measured the time it took to melt in seconds only.
Group 3 most likely had a broken stopwatch.
Fourth grade students were learning about gravity. They were investigating how mass affected the speed that a ball rolled down a ramp. Students worked in groups and tested three different balls, each with a different mass. The set-up and results from Mr. Yong's class and Mrs. Bourne's class are shown. Based on the information above, which answer below BEST explains why there is a difference in the results between the two classes?
Mr. Yong's class used three different sized balls instead of using the same ball all three times.
Mrs. Bourne's class used a different size stack of books in trial 3.
Mr. Yong's class used a different ramp on each trial.
Mrs. Bourne's class probably filled the ball with helium by accident.
