What kind of bird is this? 2 What do you think it eats? 3 Where do you think it lives? |
Energy Pyramid Reading
Primary Producers Video
Check out this video that shows how Primary Producers (phytoplankton) are the start of all the Food Webs in the ocean.
Take a Tour of Biomes
Create Food Webs and Energy Pyramids
- Use Google Earth to explore the Earth's biomes.
- As a class name a biome or major habitat type (desert, tundra, tropical forest, etc.)
- Zoom in slowly from space and review how and why the Earth has different climates.
- Review Abiotic Factors - List the 4 on board and + / - next to them according to how students would rate their influence on a particular biome.
- As a class come up with and then map out the various producers and consumers into a Food Web, then an Energy Pyramid.
- Place the abiotic factors next to the Energy Pyramid to indicate how they might limit the producers and thus the entire chain of consumers that follow.
