REVIEW
The next 2 slides review concepts that you wrote in your Science Journal on Monday.

Review:
food chain: a diagram of living things that shows what an organism eats and is eaten by
predator: animals that hunt or eat other animals
prey: animals that are hunted or eaten by other animals
5
Review:
All food chains start with the sun ☀️
The sun is the main source of energy.
The arrows in a food chain show the flow of energy.

Key Vocabulary & Diagrams
The next several slides include new vocabulary and a food chain diagram that you need to add on to the notes that you have already started.

producer: a living thing that takes energy from the sun and makes (produces) its own food (usually a plant)
