Wednesday 9.8.10

Tuesday in class, we first sat down and finished taking notes from the powerpoint Mr. Paek showed us last Friday. Here were some important terms that you should know....

TYPES OF CONSUMERS:

Primary consumers-animals that feed directly on producers(herbivores)

-plant eating animals

Secondary Consumers-feed on primary consumers.

Tertiary Consumers-feed on secondary consumers.

Quaternary Consumers-feed on tertiary consumers.

Carnivores-eat meat

Omnivores-eat plants and animals

Scavengers-dead

decomposers-energy from dead--->organisms are bacteria and fungi.

After taking notes, we discussed food webs/pyramids and did pages in the UP Pink packet, pg. In class with a partner, we did page 15. Basically it was to find the producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, etc. in a picture. Pg. 16 you do the same, except do NOT do #4. Page 17 is extra credit, you have to visit a website to complete and print out the results. Then, page 19&20 was homework even though some of us finished it during class.
