Wild Kratts . Habitats Come play again later! Come play again tomorrow! Producer Consumers - Food Chain - Kid's Corner Parts of the Food Chain (Producers/Consumers...) Producers Plants are called producers. This is because they produce their own food! They do this by using light energy from the Sun, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce food - in the form of glucouse/sugar. Consumers Animals are called consumers. Decomposers Bacteria and fungi are decomposers.

Every living thing—from one-celled algae to giant blue whales—needs food to survive. Each food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can follow through the ecosystem. For example, grass produces its own food from sunlight. Of course, many different animals eat grass, and rabbits can eat other plants besides grass. Trophic Levels Organisms in food chains are grouped into categories called trophic levels. Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many other kinds. The second trophic level consists of organisms that eat the producers. Consumers can be carnivores (animals that eat other animals) or omnivores (animals that eat both plants and animals). Detritivores and decomposers are the final part of food chains. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria complete the food chain. Food Chains In a pond, the autotroph might be algae.
Natural vs. Man-Made Natural vs. man-made is a hard concept for nine year olds to grasp when they live in a techno-world where real is fake and fake is real. I attempted to introduce this topic to them today. Students were given a pristine sheet of white paper. Luckily I remembered to remind them not to make any marks including their names on the paper until they received instructions. If I hadn’t given that instruction I would have had several Picasso’s in the room before I had handed out all the paper. Once their paper was creased students were asked to open their paper up. Most everyone got the basic shape. I then asked students to redraw their map in the bottom half of their paper now that they had a model to go by on the board. The next question I posed was about things students could add to their maps to make the certain someone they were with fully understand the United States. I kept taking responses until almost everyone had suggested something.
