What is a food chain?
many different food chains found in one place
living things that produce their own food
how living things are connected through what they eat and what they are eaten by
a living thing that eats other living things
What is matter?
an animal that is hunted by and eaten by other animals
a living thing that makes its own food
the movement of material through an ecosystem such as through food chains and food webs
anything that takes up space; can be in different forms such as solid, liquid, or gas

carnivore
herbivore
prey
An animal that eats only plants is a _____________
prey
omnivore
carnivore
herbivore
A carnivore eats ________________________
only plants
only other animals
both plants and animals
nothing
What is a prey?
an animal that hunts and eats other animals
an animal that only eats plants
a living thing that makes its own food
an animal that is hunted by and eaten by another animal
What is a fair test?
when all the variables are changed
when only 1 variable is changed (IV)
when all the variables stay the same (CV)
only when the hypothesis is correct
A consumer ____________
eats other living things
makes its own food
breaks down dead plants and animals
does nothing important
Many different food chains in one place is called ______________
energy flow
matter flow
food web
producer
The movement of material through an ecosystem, such as through food chains and food webs is _____________
free flow
matter
photosynthesis
matter flow
A decomposer __________________
produces it own food
eats other living things
breaks down dead plants and animals
takes a nap
What does a predator do?
goes to school
an animal that hunts and eats other animals
an animal that is hunted and eaten by other animals
makes its own food
What statement is true about producers?
They get their energy from eating other animals.
Animals that make their own food.
Plants that make their own food through photosynthesis.
Plants that make their own food by consuming and decomposing.
In our balloon lab, what evidence showed that air HAS weight?
The balance stayed level when air was let out of the balloons.
The balance didn't move when air was let out of the balloons.
The balloons with air went up and the balloons with no air went down.
The balloons with air went down and the balloons with no air went up.
What do plants get their energy from?
only water
only soil
from photosynthesis using sunlight, water and air
mostly from soil and a little from sun and water
How do the arrows point in a food chain and food web?
The arrows point to the thing that is eating (predator) and away from what is eaten to show the flow of matter / energy
The arrows point to what is being eaten to show the flow of matter / energy.
It doesn't matter which direction the arrows point.
There are no arrows in a food chain or food web.
How do people and plants help each other?
plants need oxygen and people need carbon dioxide
plants give off carbon dioxide and people give off oxygen
plants need carbon dioxide from the air and people need oxygen
people and plants do not need each other
Why are decomposers important?
decomposers are not important
decomposers help to produce their own food
decomposers do not help the ecosystem
decomposers help get rid of dead plants and animals
The purpose of the mold and worm labs was ________________
to make a mess in Mrs. Taylor's classroom
to understand that decomposers have an important role in the ecosystem
to see how mold and worms are producers
just to be grossed out and have FUN!
Which statement is true (there may be more than 1 right answer)?
Producers, consumers and decomposers all have important roles in the ecosystem.
Mrs. Taylor's science class is AMAZING!
Even though we can't see air, it still has weight and is matter.
When scientist do an experiment, they have to make sure it is a fair test.
