Lesson 2: Food - Matter & Energy

The energy we get from food is calories.

Organisms we saw:

• Centipede, water, carbon dioxide
• Rolly polly, water, carbon dioxide
• Trees, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, nutrients, flowers, shelter, warmth, potassium
• Worms, water, carbon dioxide
• Grass, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, nutrients, potassium, flowers, shelter, warmth
• Flowers, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, nutrients, potassium, flowers, shelter, warmth
• Bushes, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, nutrients, potassium, flowers, shelter, warmth


• Squirrel, warmth, air food/carbon, shelter, water, sleep
• Bird, warmth, air, food/carbon, shelter, water, sleep
• Humans, warmth, air, food/carbon, shelter, water, sleep

Notes

• Plants - Carbon Dioxide = Air, Roots, Water = The Ground, Shelter = Out in the open, No Shelter, light, Under The Sun, Any kind of light, Energy = Sun, food

• Animals - Carbon Dioxide = Air, Roots, Water = Ponds, puddles, lakes, bird bath Food = Other Animals/Plants/Bolth Shelter = Caves, homes, holes, Little Pockets In The Ground, Energy = Food, Calcium, Vitamins, Drinks, Milk, Dairy, Food
