At school we began to talk about FOOD CHAINS. In a food chain, energy goes from one thing to another. We show the flow of energy in a food chain using ARROWS.

Plants and animals depend on each other in the food chain. Living things are classified as producers, consumers and decomposers.

Consumers can be herbivores, omnivores and carnivores.

Consumers can also be classified as primary consumer, secondary consumer and tertiary consumer. The primary consumer eats the plants. The secondary consumer eats the animal that eats the plant. The tertiary consumer eats the animal that eats the animal that eats the plants. Let's look at an example:


A few other words we discussed today were PREDATOR and PREY.

The predator is the hunter and the prey is the hunted. Here is an example below:
