Grid 3
Your name :
What shall we find out?

FIND & FOUND

Things I want to find out

1. What is food chain?

2. What is a pyramid number?

3. What does a food web show?

4. Construct a food web from a food chain.

Information I have found out.

1. A chain of organisms through which energy and atoms in the form organic compounds in food are transferred. It starts
with green plants upon which herbivores feed, The herbivores are eaten by carnivores which may in turn be eaten by
other carnivores and so on. As some animals feed at different levels in the chain, a food web may be required to cover
all the relationships.

2. In, ecology a diagram that shows how many plants and animals there are at different levels in a food chain. There are
always far fewer individuals at the top of the chain than at the bottom because only about 10% of the food an animal
eats is turned into flesh, so the amount of food flowing the chain drops at each step. In a pyramid of numbers, the
pyramid producers (usually plants) are represented at the bottom by a broad band, the plant eaters are shown above a
narrower band, and the animals that prey on them by a narrower band still. At the top of the pyramid are the top
carnivores such as lions and sharks, which are present in the smallest number.

3. The totality of interacting food chains in an ecological community

Interesting things that I learnt about this topic that I didn’t already know how are

What is a pyramid number?

The things which I enjoyed doing most was

Looking for information with my friends.

The part I found the hardest was

Understanding the information given
