1. My second food chain works by starting with the flower garden, then the cricket eats stuff from the flower garden and then the mouse eats the cricket. Finally the raccoon eats the mouse and when the raccoon dies it all cycles back again.
2. Yes, because the food web is all part of the ecosystem and ecosystem has system in it's name so it must be a type of system.
3. If a plant or animal suddenly becomes extinct or if it disappears it will have a hugs impact on all of the animals because if ones gone then the animals that eat the thing that is gone will starve and they will die and the animals that eat this will starve and die and then it will go on and a lot of animals will die.
4. it is starting with the sun that gives the energy to the tree that has the apple on it. Then the worm gets the matter from eating the apple and the bird gets all the matter from the worm when it eat the worm, finally when the cat eats the bird it is getting all the matter of the bird.
5. The animal get the energy eating all of the other animals. When they eat something else the energy is getting transferred over to the animal that ate the animal because the animal it ate had energy from the last thing it ate.
6. What happens the matter that is not used is when the animal dies it will start to decompose and all of the matter will start to turn into dirt then more seeds can grow in the dirt and the dirt will now have vitamins in it and a new plant will grow for another animal to eat.

1. I think that the hardest par was trying to make sure that what I was saying would work for Mars. It was also hard to come up wit newer and original ideas and not be copying other preambles ideas.
2. I think my favorite part was the punishment part because I thought I had a lot of different ways it could work and that way the people had a lot of power and it was a good system.
3. It is the intro to the constitution. It king of says what the constitution is about and what we can do and not do in our nation.

1.How do we find the energy (calories) per serving?
2.How do we find the matter (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals)?
3.Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
4.Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
5.How do we find the percentage of different types of matter in the food?
​

 1.We can find the calories per serving by looking at the label and seeing it at the top. If you don't have the label you can burn them and the amount of heat they let out is the amount of calories.
2.You can find out the amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals by looking in the middle of the label 
​3. You can find the ingredient list at the very bottom  of the  nutrition fact list and it is usually in a different font.
4. We can locate the list of ingredients on the pet food list at the very top of the nutrition facts label.
​5. You can find all of the percentages for the foods in the middle or towards the bottom of the nutrition facts.

1. We can locate the list of ingredients on the pet food list at the very top of the nutrition facts label.
​2. You can find all of the percentages for the foods in the middle or towards the bottom of the nutrition facts.

​Reflection/Synthesis Questions:Answers:

1. What kinds of living things (organisms) do you see in both pictures?
2. What other living things might be here, even if you can't see them in the photos?
3. Why might living things in these photos interact with each other?
4. Read the BIG IDEA below. How do these pictures depict an ecosystem?

.

1. There are a few different living things in these pictures like plants, plants are in both of the picture.  There are also fish in the second picture and ducks in the first picture. In the first picture there are a lot of trees and grass on the side too.

​2. Some of the things that are probably in the lakes that you can not see are more fish and a lot  of plants that are in the bottom. There are probably a lot of bugs and insects to.

3. Living thing in these pictures might interact with each other because they need food. In an ecosystem every animal will eat other plants or animals and they are both living. They may also interact with other animals if they are a family. Animals may also interact with plants when they are living in a plant.

4. These pictures show an ecosystem because it shows the animals and plants interacting with the dirt and the algae. They show an ecosystem because all the animals are living in water and interacting with it by drinking it or breathing  it.

Reflect & Synthesize:
Answer the following questions in your blog post. Remember to have at least one follow-up sentence for each question, when possible.

1. What do living things get from their ecosystems?
2. What evidence do you have to support your answer to Question 1?
3. What does the term ecosystem mean, based on your experience in this lesson? (Don't use the definition from the BIG IDEA here. Put it into your own words.)
4. Brainstorm at least one question you have about Ecosystems that you hope you learn from this unit.
5. Look at the image below that shows a portion of a forest ecosystem. Name at least five components (living or non-living things) of the ecosystem that you can either observe directly or infer. 
6. What are three (or more) interactions that might occur in this portion of the forest ecosystem?
