What is a Food Chain? *Hint look at the wall
A food chain is a diagram that shows the transfer of energy, outlining "who eats whom" within an ecosystem.
Global Warming and Climate Change negatively impacts the habitats of Polar Bears
True
Global warming and climate change are destroying the Arctic sea ice habitat polar bears need for survival. Polar bears to spend more time traveling to get it's food, leading to starvation, reduced reproduction, and increased human-wildlife conflict.
An organism that gets its energy from eating other things.
Consumer
Extreme weather conditions. Hot during the day / cold at night.
Desert
The movie "Happy Feet" takes place in this habitat type?
What is a "Producer" and give an example
Organisms that produce their own food
ex. Grass
Wetlands are habitats where the land is covered by deep water.
False
Wetland habitats are typically defined by having shallow water or saturated soils, rather than deep water.
Without this organism, dead plants and animals would pile up.
Decomposers
The Savanna, Prairies, Plains and Steppes are considered to be this habitat type
Grassland
The movie "The Lion King" takes place in this habitat?
The Grassland - Savanna
Define the word "habitat" and what makes it up
The natural home or environment of an organism
4 things: Water, Food, Space, Shelter

Complete the following food chain with an omnivore:
plant----> _________ -----> snake ------> hawk
Mouse or rodent
Has trees that grow cones and keep their needles all year round
Coniferous Forest (Cone-Bearing Trees)
The movie the "Princess and the Frog" is taken place in the Louisiana Everglades. What habitat type is this considered to be part of?

Ex. Mushroom
The Amazon Rainforest, experiences the 4 seasons
False
No, tropical rainforests do not experience the traditional four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter). Instead, they typically have two main seasons based on rainfall rather than temperature changes: a wet (rainy) season and a dry (less rainy) season.
Put this food chain in order:
A. 1st Consumer
B. Decomposer
C. Producer
D. 2nd Consumer
E. The Sun
F. Repeats

This habitat is largely unexplored
Marine/Ocean
The movie "Bambi" experiences changing seasons and falling leaves. The movie takes place in this environment. *Be Specific
Deciduous Forest (Leaf-Bearing Trees)
Define the word "Adaptation" and name an example found in nature
The process of adjusting to new conditions, environments or challenges to imporve survival and functionality.
Ex. Camouflage from Chameleons
The movie "Finding Nemo/Dory" takes place in the Arctic Ocean
False
Finding Nemo/Dory takes place primarily in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia. This is the Indian Ocean
If the food chain went as follows:
Carrots-----> Rabbits-----> Foxes
Explain what would happen to both carrots and the foxes if rabbits caught a disease that killed more than half of the population.
The number of carrots would increase because the rabbits will no longer eating them
The foxes would decrease in number because the rabbits part of their food source.
