This Week in Science:Energy Transfer

     The things we did this week is that we learned about food chains and new words that go with the food chain. David, our science teacher show us an example of the animal that eats another.There's five words that we learned which is consumer,producer,primary consumer,secondary consumer,and tertiary consumer.Consumer means any organism that eats another organism for example a hawk eats snake and the hawk is the one who starts to eat the organism.Producer means any organism that makes its own food for example a plat do not eat animals, they make there own food.Second Consumer means an organism that gets its energy from primary consumer and Tertiary Consumer means an organism that gets its energy from second consumer. We learn that animals eat each other and get energy from some non-living things and we understand that they are like the same as us but they're different from our minds. Other five new words that we learn in this lesson is Autotroph, Hetertroph,Herdivore, and Carnivore. These new words have the same definition of the other words but another way to explain the energy pyramid.
