Main Concepts

A food web shows how matter and energy move in an ecosystem.
All organisms obtain living and nonliving resources from their environment.
Examples of living resources are plants and animals.
Examples of nonliving resources are sunlight, air, water, temperature, and soil.
The introduction of an invasive species is a change to an environment caused by human activities.
Consumers are animals that eat other organisms to obtain energy.
A producer is an organism that can produce its own food to obtain energy.
Examples of producers are plants and phytoplankton.
Decomposers are organisms that break down dead plant and animal remains.
Some examples of decomposers are fungi and bacteria.
A healthy ecosystem has a balance of producers, consumers, and decomposers.
Significant changes to populations in an ecosystem can affect other populations within the ecosystem and cause it to become unstable.
The introduction of an invasive species can threaten the balance of an ecosystem.
Examples of aquatic ecosystems include ponds, marshes, swamps, streams, rivers, and oceans.
Dry-land ecosystems include deserts, grasslands, rainforests, and forests.
A healthy ecosystem has a variety of species.
The resources in any ecosystem are limited.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

You will be asked to fill in a food chain. What is a food chain? What are examples of producers? What do producers need to survive? What are examples of consumers, and how are they related to producers? What do you know about ecosystems? Can you name an example and some animals that might be included?

After the Game

How were you able to figure out the order to put the animals in on the food chain? Why did it matter? Give an example of an abiotic and biotic part of the food chain. You filled in a food chain according to the different roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers. Describe the different roles. In the game you had sort animals based on their home ecosystem. Why is it important that animals live in their proper ecosystem?
