Food Chains & Food Webs
A food chain depicts a linear pathway of organisms transferring energy as one organism eats another. A food web illustrates a more complex network of interconnected food chains within an ecosystem. An energy pyramid visually represents the decrease in biomass and increase in trophic levels from producers to primary, secondary and tertiary consumers.
Food chain,food web and ecological pyramids
The document discusses food chains and food webs within an ecosystem. It defines a food chain as the transfer of energy from producers, like plants, through consumers at different trophic levels, and explains the key levels as producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers. Food webs are described as interconnected food chains that form a network of feeding relationships between species. Ecological pyramids illustrate the structure of ecosystems by depicting the numbers, biomass, or productivity at each trophic level, with producers at the base and top predators at the apex. Disturbances like bioaccumulation and biomagnification of chemicals can disrupt ecosystem balance.
Food Chains And Food Webs
Food chains and food webs describe how energy moves through an ecosystem. A food chain represents a single path of energy transfer between organisms, such as from berries to rabbits to foxes. A food web shows multiple interconnected food chains and demonstrates that most organisms obtain energy from many different sources. Producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun to start the process, while consumers obtain energy by eating other organisms, and decomposers break down waste to recycle nutrients and energy back into the system.

CAROLUS LINNAEUS ppt
Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) is known as the "Father of Taxonomy". He developed the Linnaean system of classification for organisms based on similarities. This 7-level system classified all organisms as either animals or plants. Linnaeus published Species Plantarum in 1753 classifying 5,900 plant species, and Systema Naturae in 1758 classifying 4,200 animal species. He introduced binomial nomenclature, using a two-part scientific name for each species in Latin. This standardized naming system is still used today. Linnaeus made many contributions to botany and zoological classification through his groundbreaking work.

Cellana Ornata
This document describes an investigation into how light intensity affects the distribution of two plant species - Kiekie (Freycenita Banksii) and Kahikatea (Podocarpus Dacrydioides) - within Jubilee Park forest in Hamilton, New Zealand. The author predicts that plants higher in the forest canopy will receive more sunlight than those on the forest floor or in shrub layers due to forest stratification. Light intensity is the main factor influencing stratification. Abiotic factors like moisture, wind intensity and temperature may also affect the plants.
Cellana Ornata
This research paper investigates the distribution of two organisms, Chamapsipho brunnea (brown barnacle) and Lepsiella scobina (oyster borer), at Sirens' Rock on the south coast of Wellington, New Zealand. Fieldwork was conducted to analyze how abiotic factors like tide level affect where each species is found. It was found that C. brunnea is located in mid-high tidal zones as its shell can close to survive out of water, while L. scobina is found in mid-low tidal zones as its shell cannot fully close. Biotic factors like competition and predation also influence their distributions.

Food chain review sheet
Food chains show how energy passes between organisms as they consume one another. Plants obtain energy from the sun and are eaten by herbivores, while carnivores consume other animals. Each ecosystem contains many overlapping food chains that form a complex food web. Disrupting this delicate balance, such as through pollution, overfishing or habitat loss, can have cascading effects that damage populations throughout the ecosystem. For example, overfishing cod off the coast of Canada led to their near extinction and altered the entire food web, with snow crabs now more prevalent. Human actions can permanently change food webs.

Brine shrimp, also known as sea monkeys, are small crustaceans found in saltwater lakes and salt flats around the world. They can enter a dormant state as eggs and survive for many years. In the 1960s, selling brine shrimp eggs as "sea monkeys" became a popular fad among children. However, advertisements made false claims about their ability to instantly hatch. Brine shrimp have a simple lifecycle - they hatch from eggs within a few days, mature within 2-3 weeks, and can live up to 6 months. Their population is affected by limiting factors like food, water, space and shelter.

This document summarizes a project by students at a Tamil Nadu high school to raise awareness about protecting snakes in their community. The students learned that killing all snakes was increasing rat populations and damaging crops. They visited experts who taught them about identifying poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. The students then educated their community on the importance of snakes for controlling rats and not harming snakes unnecessarily. They encouraged safer practices for removing snakes from homes and protecting farmlands from snakes and rats. As a result, over 300 people gained knowledge about snake conservation to help protect food supplies.

The Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973 to protect threatened and endangered wildlife. An endangered species is in danger of extinction, while a threatened species is likely to become endangered. There are currently over 950 endangered species and 267 threatened species in the United States protected under this law. By helping endangered species recover, biodiversity is increased.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Food web mini lesson
- 2. Objective: ๏ Students will be able to construct a food web using creatures of the ocean ๏ Students will be able to understand how humans can receive important nutrients from the ocean and understand the life cycle we all go through in order to survive ๏ Students will also be able to understand how to use pastels and shading/blending in fun ways!
- 3. Resources/Inspirations: ๏ Artist: Randy McGovern(wildlife artist) Oil paintings ๏ Lorenzo Gomez (comic artist) food chain picture of bigger fish eating little fish downward ๏ The Little Mermaid by Hans Christianson original story ๏ Awesome Website Kids Corner :http://www.sheppardsoftware.co m/content/animals/kidscorner/g ames/foodchaingame.htm
- 4. Vocabulary: ๏ Food Web ๏ Habitat ๏ Plankton ๏ Predator ๏ Prey ๏ Nutrition ๏ Pastels ๏ Shading ๏ Blending ๏ Life Cycle ๏ Environment ๏ Decomposer ๏ Producer ๏ Consumer
- 5. Main Ideas: ๏ My Big idea was the concept of the environment and how it can effect plants, animals, and humans in a chain reaction. As in the little mermaid she has predators around her everywhere she turns and needs to be careful. In the story it is evident that there is a food chain in the sea that each creature must be aware of to protect themselves. Branching from this, I want students to understand the importance of the life cycle in the ocean and how we as humans are (usually) at the top of the food chain, but still need to know about protection and the importance of the cycle we are also a part of. With that being said we get many important nutrients as well from the sea as well.
- 6. Procedure/Intro Activity: ๏ Discuss and define the basic concept of food chains and food webs, including nutrients, sun, oxygen, decomposers, producers, and consumers. Explain what a food chain is and how it works. ๏ Demonstrate the idea by getting children to act out the various creatures in a food chain. ๏ Explain that all living things need energy to survive, and that plants use the sunโs energy to make food. We can get our energy and protein from fish!
- 8. Key Questions: ๏ Why do humans fit into the food web? Where? Why? ๏ Which level in the web do you think is most important? Why? ๏ What animal would you like to be in the ocean? ๏ How do pastels help to blend artwork more simply?
- 9. Informal/Formal Evaluation: ๏ Informal-Guided intro activity. Making sure students demonstrate the correct order while lining up their animals in the food chain in front of their classmates, working in groups. ๏ Practice shading and blending pastels on a scrap piece of paper ๏ Formal-12 pt rubric
