  1. Producers, Consumers,and Decomposers Mollie Bell

  2. Content Area: Science • Grade Level 4 • Summary: This activity is to enhance students’ knowledge of the food chain by identifying a living thing as a producer, composer or decomposer. In this activity, students will identify a living thing as a producer, composer or decomposer by placing the picture into the correct category. • Learning Objective: Given pictures and different categories, the student will be able to identify a living thing as a producer, composer or decomposer with 100% accuracy. • Grade Level Expectation: GLE 0407.3.2 Investigate different ways that organisms meet their energy needs. • State Performance Indicator: SPI 0407.3.1 Determine how different organisms function within an environment in terms of their location on an energy pyramid

  3. All living things are part of the food chain. Each living thing is either a producer, consumer or decomposer. These categories are all important to the other. It is the basis of the food chain. This creates a circle of life.

  4. Producer • A producer can make its own food. Plants are producers. • Producers make food and oxygen for consumers

  5. Consumer • A consumer eats either other plants or animals in the food chain. Animals are consumers. • Consumers are food for decomposers.

  6. There are three groups of Consumers • Herbivores Herbivores only eat plants. • Carnivores Carnivores only eat animals. • Omnivores Omnivores eat plants and animals.

  7. Decomposer • A decomposer feeds on or breaks down dead plants and animals. • Decomposers provide food for producers. Decomposers are fungi, bacteria, worms, crabs and some insects.

  9. Click anywhere on the yellow to play the Producers, Consumers, Decomposers game. Play all the way through. • Did you answer them all correctly? • Were you surprised by some of the answers?

  10. Click on the above link for the interactive whiteboard review

  11. Write your answers on a piece of paper and turn in to the teacher. • Are people producers, consumers or decomposers? Why ? • Are people herbivores, carnivores or omnivore? Why?

  12. Reflection • If the food chain is made of producers, consumers, and decomposers and it is the circle of life, are people really the top of the food chain?
