FOOD CHAIN INFO:

When drawing your food chain diagram, make sure to add in primary, secondary and tertiary (if there are any) animals.  

Please read below for descriptions of each level:

1. Primary producers (organisms that make their own food from sunlight and/or chemical energy from deep sea vents) are the base of every food chain - these organisms are called autotrophs.
2. Primary consumers are animals that eat primary producers; they are also called herbivores (plant-eaters).
3. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. They are carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores (animals that eat both animals and plants).
4. Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers.
5. Quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers.
6. Food chains "end" with top predators, animals that have little or no natural enemies.

4th Grade Ecosystem Project - BUILD AN ECOSYSTEM:

WHO:  La salle 23 :)

WHEN:  Project is due Friday, December 12, 2014 

WHAT:  Students work individually to research and create a habitat diorama or poster at home. Students use the knowledge gained throughout the unit to design the natural habitat for living things. Students demonstrate the interdependence of living things necessary for survival within their habitat display (food web). They present their dioramas/ posters to the class in an oral presentation. 

Students will receive an individual grade on:

- diorama or poster display 

- oral presentation

- reflection 

HOW:  

Diorama	medium shoe box, construction paper, play dough, clay, plastic figures, printed pictures, own drawings, etc..
Poster	drawings, paintings, printouts

SHOULD INCLUDE:

• at least 3-5 producers (plants), labeled
• at least 3-5 consumers (animals), labeled (Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary consumers)

• at least 5 colors realistically representing the plants, animals, and scenery within the habitat
• the sun
• Include an explanation of how producers and consumers depend on one another in your  oral presentation 
• neatly label plants and animals
• title, your name, date
• 3 planning sheets: 

- an example of a food chain in your habitat

- the food web representing the living things in your habitat

• a brief written description of your habitat, location, weather, plants, and animals 

• Reflection: In their journal, each student will write a 2 paragraph persuasive argument on what affects their habitat and why their habitat should be saved.
