"This Week in Science: Energy Transfer"




This week in science we made a energy pyramid of what our fantasy animal and found out what foods they eat and how the energy from the sun helps the plants grow which makes the sun a producer. The plants also producers because they give energy to primary consumer like for example an elephant is a primary consumer because it eats grass but a penguin is not a primary consumer because it eats something that eats something El's that basically what we did this week in science.

so we learned 5 new words in science ; producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer,omnivore, herbivore, carnivore)
a producer is something that gives energy & could also be plants because plants get energy from the sun and that's how they get full. a primary consumer is the next curter to eat from a producer like my animal is a primary consumer because it eats plants. The other word was secondary consumer which is a animal that would eat a primary consumer. and it gets higher and higher from secondary consumer to tertiary consumer. then omnivore is if you eat plants and meat - herbivore is just if you eat plants and carnivore is just if you eat meat is pretty simple and helped me learn everything i know now about an elephant.
