Engaging Outdoor Science Lesson on Coe Lake Creatures and Food Chain Dynamics

Dive into the fascinating world of Coe Lake critters with this interactive science education session on the food chain. Explore producers like phytoplankton and diatoms, primary consumers such as Daphnia and Snails, and secondary consumers like Copepods and Ostracods. Learn about key terms like photosynthesis, cellular respiration, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, and more as you witness the intricate ecosystem in action.

  1. Coe Lake Outdoor Science Education Coe LakeCritters Lesson

  2. Food Chain Key Terms • Producers- • Photosynthesis: • Primary consumers- • Cellular respiration: • Secondary consumers- • Tertiary consumers- • Herbivore- • Carnivore- • Omnivore- • Decomposer-

  3. Common Producers(Phytoplankton/Photosynthesize)

  4. More phytoplankton!

  5. Super cool phytoplankton : DIATOMS!

  6. Microscopic Stuff Amoeba-omnivores Paramecium- eat bacteria Amoeba Feeding Footage

  7. Common Primary Consumers (Zooplankton)Daphnia (water flea) Footage

  8. Snails (not zooplankton)primary consumers • Right handed (dextral) pollution sensitive • Left handed (sinestral) pollution tolerant, • EX: Pouch Snails

  9. Scud (zooplankton)Footageprimary & secondary consumeromnivore & nocturnal

  10. Copepods (zooplankton) Footage(primary & secondary consumer)omnivore 

  11. Ostracod (zooplankton) Footageprimary & secondary consumeromnivoresome bioluminescent (glow blue at night in Caribbean) some parthenogenic (drought resistant eggs-come back to life)

  12. Planaria Footagesecondary consumer(& they will eat dead organisms too)regenerate

  13. Nematode Footage(decomposers)

  14. Rotifer Footage"wheel bearer" crown of ciliaomnivores (but small enough to fit in tiny mouth)

  15. Key Terms to Know • Photosynthesis parthenogenic • Cellular respiration phytoplankton • Primary consumer zooplankton • Secondary consumer Daphnia • Tertiary consumer Ostracod • Nocturnal Scud • Diurnal Copepod • Decomposer Diatom • Herbivore Planaria • Carnivore Nematode • Omnivore Snail • Bioluminescent dextral • Regenerate sinustral • Rotifer Amoeba • Paramecium
