Question

In this project, you will make a graphic to help you understand who the producers and consumers are. You can make your graphic in any way that makes sense to you; a bulleted list, a pyramid, a Venn diagram, etc. Your graphic should be clear and easy to understand. You can create it in a Word document, Power Point Presentation, Publisher, or any other graphics program that you are familiar with. Do additional research if you need to find out about any words on the list.
Click here to make a printout of a pyramid.
From the following list, Separate out the producers. Make sure you have clearly labeled this group.
acorns
deer
mice
apple
trees
eagles
owls
cabbage
frogs
potatoes
carrots
grains
rabbits
chickens
grass
squirrels
corn
horses
wolves
cows
lettuce
worms
Next, separate out the plant eating consumers. These are the ones that eat only producers. Make sure to label this group clearly. Last, separate out the predators, making sure to label this group clearly in your presentation. After completing the lab, respond to the following questions:Were there more producers than consumers and more consumers than predators on your pyramid? Why or why not? Were there any that could have fit in more than one category?
A mouse eats 100 times his own weight in grain in a lifetime. You can see that plants must produce a great amount of food for just one mouse. What do you think would happen if grain was no longer available for the mouse to eat? How would it affect other organisms in your ecosystem?
