Every living thing needs energy from food to survive and perform activities like running and jumping. Plants are producers that produce their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, while animals are consumers that obtain energy by eating plants or other animals. A food chain shows how each organism transfers nutrients and energy by consuming other living things.

1. Every living thing needs
energy in order to live.
Every time animals do
something (run, jump)
they use energy to do
so.

2.  Animals get energy
from the food they
eat, and all living
things get energy
from food.
 A food chain shows
how each living thing
gets food, and how
nutrients and energy
are passed

3. PRODUCERS CONSUMERS
 Plants are called
producers. This is
because they produce
their own food!
 Animals are called
consumers. This is
because they cannot
make their own food, so
they need to consume
(eat) plants and/or
animals.

5. A system of many food chin

6. PHOTOSYNTHESIS SUN+
CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER
 Species who eat other
animals only are called
carnivores
 Species who eat plants
are called herbivores
