Lesson 4: Plants as Producers

4/12/2016

0 Comments

Plants need energy and matter to grow. Where do plants get their ENERGY?
Where do plants get their MATTER?
Where do plants get their FOOD (be careful - this is a trick question)?
Why are plants called Producers?
What would happen if plants didn't have a way to get energy?
What would happen to animals if there were no plants to eat?
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.)
What are some of the NON-LIVING components of a plant "system"?
In what ways do the components of the system interact?
What matter is transported in and out of the plant system?

All plants get there energy from the sun thats called photosynthesis.
The sun.
The sun.
They are the producers of what all living thing needs.
They would shrivel up and die.
They Would adventually die
photosynthesis=food
Carbon dioxside
Carbon dioxide will together with humans because people breath out carbon dioxide so the plants gives our air so this cycle will go back and forth for ever until one all humans dike or all plants die.

A Producers is the beginning of the food chain and it gets plants from the sun.

Animal

People
chipmunk
Raccoon
black Bear
pigs
spider
Wolf
lion
Snake
hawk
grasshopper
pragmatists
Cows
sheep
deer
rabbit

Choose one of your Food Chains that you created and explain how it works.
Can a Food Web be considered a "system"? Why or why not?
What happens if a plant or animal all of a sudden disappears from the food web?
Using this food chain, "sunlight to apple to worm to bird to cat," How do organisms in this food chain get the matter they need for body repair and growth?
Using the same food chain in #4, How do organisms in that food chain get the energy they need for body warmth and motion?
What do you think happens to the matter that is NOT used by the organisms in a food chain or food web? Is it wasted or does something else happen?

So the sun makes moss then the mouse eats that then a snake eats the mouse and then eat the snake.
I fuss because it like a huge food chain
that animal is extinct and could kill some other animals that needs that animal to survive.
Apple grows using photosynthesis and a worm would start eating that apple when its ready to be eaten.The birds would start to eat the worms because birds love worms and cats will start to attack baby or small birds.
From eating there food.
That matter will get stored.

Lesson 2: Food - Matter & Energy

4/4/2016

0 Comments

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

Questions

Answers

How do we find the energy (calories) per serving?
How do we find the matter (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals)?
Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
How do we find the percentage of different types of matter in the food?
What does food provide to animals, including humans?
Do the pet food and human food have the same nutrients? In what ways are they different?
Does a higher calorie count mean a food is better for pets to eat? What makes pet owners think that?
What is it in food that helps us repair our bodies and grow?
What in food helps us move and stay warm?
In what way does energy transfer when animals eat food?
Look at the nutrition label below for milk. How much energy is in the food?
What matter is in the food?
How do we find the energy (calories) per serving?
How do we find the matter (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals)?
Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
How do we find the percentage of different types of matter in the food?

You look at where calories is and look at the grams.
You look at total carbohydrates, total fat, and proteins, and you look what vitamins it has. You also look in the ingredients section and look for different minerals.
The label were it tells you what it is made up of and you can find that at the top or bottom of the nutrition facts.
On the list of ingredients.
Matter, calories, nutrients, and energy.
They label more nutrients on the pet food.
TBD
Matter and nutrients because it repairs our body and gives us energy.
Matter and nutrients help us move and stay warm.
TBD
160 Calories
1 cup of matter
160 calories per serving
you look at the bold headings on the nutrition label.
on the back of the package the food came on
On The Nutrition label on the back of package of your food.
