Community

Fill in the community chart with the organisms that you have experimented with.

 

Place arrows to show the transfer of energy.

Is it a food chain or food web?

You are aware that plants and animals need more from their environment than food.  The other materials that they need are nonliving are called environmental factors.  Since nonliving objects should not be inside the community box they are listed outside with arrows pointing to the organism that use them.

Place them on the diagram above.

When a community of organisms lives in a certain area it is often called a biome.  There are several types of biomes.  Some of them are desert biome, forest biome, pond biome, city biome, prairie biome, jungle biome, river biome, farmland biome, tundra biome, marshland biome, and ocean biome.

Pick four biomes and fill out the charts according to the biome that you have selected.
