In Science today we are learning to identify and name different sources of
food within a food chain.
Remind yourself what a food chain is here:
These food chains have been mixed up.
Can you put them in the right order by drawing a food chain for them?
What if I told you that we could stretch or extend the food chain until we actually get to the sun?
The plants get their energy from the sun, so that means the sun would go before the plant in our food chain.
Can you add this to your drawing?
What happens to the plant when it dies? Or what happens to the plant when it comes out of the herbivore as poo?
The sun is the most important part of a food chain.
Each food chain relies on something that eats plants from the soil and plants need sun to grow.
Plants get energy from the sun and energy from plants is eaten by creatures that get eaten by other creatures. We call this a transfer of energy.
