5C diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, and energy pyramid

TUESDAY, 2/9/16
You need:
-NO Journal
-Pen/Pencil

Warm-Up:
On the small
paper
How would this
food web be
changed if the
climate changed,
causing all snakes
to leave the area?

ENERGY PYRAMID: ADDING TAPE

EVERYONE at your table- pick a DIFFERENT
colored marker and write your first and last
name on the butcher paper.

ENERGY PYRAMID: ADDING TAPE

PRE-AP
GOAL: Create a PICTORAL model of an Energy Pyramid that shows the
10% rule
You have 3 minutes to independently brainstorm on p. 54 in your
journal, then 4 minutes to come up with a game plan with your table.

Rules:
You MUST use the receipt paper and butcher paper
1 meter=producers (100% of energy)
Your model must include at least 4 relevant pictures
Your model must PROPORTIONALLY show through Tertiary Consumers

ENERGY PYRAMID: ADDING TAPE

ON-LEVEL
1. Measure and cut 1 METER of adding tape. Label this strip 1,000 UNITS
OF ENERGY (#1s)
2. Measure and cut 10 CENTIMETERS of adding tape. Label this strip 100
UNITS OF ENERGY (#2s)
3. Measure and cut 1 CENTIMETER of adding tape. Label this strip 10 UNITS
OF ENERGY (#3s)
4. Measure and cut 1 MILLIMETER of adding tape. Label this strip 1 UNITS
OF ENERGY (#4s)
5. Tape the 4 strips together to form a pyramid shape on your butcher paper
6. Draw a producer, primary consumer (herbivore), secondary consumer,
and tertiary consumer on the pyramid. Begin at the bottom.

 Draw and LABEL producer, primary consumer

(herbivore), secondary consumer, and tertiary
consumer on the pyramid. Begin at the bottom.

ENERGY PYRAMID: ADDING TAPE

1. Measure and cut 100 Centimeters of adding tape. Label this strip 1,000 UNITS OF
ENERGY
2. Measure and cut 10 Centimeters of adding tape. Label this strip 100 UNITS OF
ENERGY

3. Measure and cut 1 Centimeter of adding tape. Label this strip 10 UNITS OF ENERGY
4. Measure and cut 1 MILLIMETER (THIS WILL BE A SUPER TINY SLIVER) of adding tape.
Label this strip 1 UNITS OF ENERGY
5. Glue the 4 strips on your paper and draw a pyramid around them on your paper.
1 Unit of Energy

10 Units of
Energy
100 Units of
Energy

1000 units of energy

CONCLUSION
QUESTIONS

1. If a heron needs 25 units of

energy daily to stay alive, how
many frogs much it catch and
eat in a day? SHOW your
calculations and EXPLAIN your
answer.
2. Which organism receives the
MOST stored solar energy? The
LEAST?
3. Where does the energy that
starts this system come from?

1.
Which of the following populations
begins the flow of energy through
this web?
a) coyotes b) insects
c) lizards d) shrubs
2. What role does bacteria play in
this web?
a) producer b) herbivore
c) decomposer d) energy
3. What is one example of a
secondary consumer in this web?
