Term 1 Week 7

Kia Ora Ākonga, 

This week we will be focusing on the interactions of biotic factors within the ecosystem. Specifically, we will look at food chains and food webs. 

Plan for the week is as follows: 

Tuesday:  What are food chains and what are the key components within this. ( You will look at what producers and consumers are )

Wednesday: Food web/food chain journal - library visit 

Thursday:  Interactive foodweb and food chain activity 

Success Criteria: I can

• describe ecology as the study of organisms and their environment
• Distinguish between producers and consumers
• Distinguish between herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and decomposers 
• Draw a food chain and explain the energy transfers occurring 
• Use food webs to identify feeding relationships 
• Recall what MRSGREN is and identifying these in the living things within the ecosystem 

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

• We are PLANNING to construct interactive food webs and food chains to demonstrate our understanding of the interactions of biotic factors within the ecosystem
• We are PLANNING to apply our knowledge of the impacts of human and natural induced issues to consult and promote the importance of protecting our ecosystems and the interactions within it
