1. Plants need energy and matter to grow. Where do plants get their ENERGY?
2. Where do plants get their MATTER?
3. Where do plants get their FOOD (be careful - this is a trick question)?
4. Why are plants called Producers?
5. What would happen if plants didn't have a way to get energy?
6. What would happen to animals if there were no plants to eat?
7. What are some of the LIVING components of a plant "system"? (A plant "system" is everything that a plant needs to survive and everything it produces.)
8. What are some of the NON-LIVING components of a plant "system"?
9. In what ways do the components of the system interact?

On the human food label:

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?

On the pet food label:

1. Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
2. How do we find the percentage of different types of matter in the food?
   

On the human food label:
1. Look at the serving size, and how many servings there are to find the amount of calories per serving.
2. In this example, there's one gram of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrate, one gram of protein, 22% of the daily value of vitamins, and 6% of the daily value of minerals. Once you have the information, you multiply all the grams by the number of servings, which in this case is five.
3. At the bottom of the label.

On the pet food label:
1. At the top of the label.
2. By looking at it.

1. Pet and human foods are very similar.
2. Ketchup: None.
3. All of them, because they ARE plants.
4. They both have meats and vegetables, which are essentials to all life forms.
5. I wasn't at the ecosystem walk.
