Transfer their learning of energy pyramids to new situations.

Success Criteria:

I am successful when I can...

1) Review food chains and food webs.

2) Explore by actively reading about energy pyramids

3) Explain by turning and talking three times.

4) Elaborate by explaining to an AI friend.

Active Reading

(Explore)

Directions:

Step #1) Actively read the passage making seven annotations as you read in the margins.

Step #2) Remember, annotations include:

a) Word Association Game (example: Cellular Respiration - energy, ATP, mitochondria, oxygen, glucose)

b) Making connections between the text and past lessons, your life, books read, movies, video games etc

c) Rewriting important information in your own words

‼️ Does Not Include Underlining or Highlighting ‼️

Key Concept #1: The ten percent rule states that each trophic level can only give 10% of its energy to the next level. The other 90% is lost as HEAT & METABOLIC WASTE

Key Concept #2: All energy pyramids start with energy from the Sun which is transferred to the first trophic level of producers. The bottoms of the pyramid always has the most energy. As we go up the pyramid the amount of energy decreases.

Key Concept #3:

Vocab - Trophic Level – Each of the levels in an ecosystem, where organisms share the same function and nutritional relationship within the food chain, food web or energy pyramid.
