Food Chains and Webs Powerpoint

The document discusses food chains and food webs. It explains that food chains show how each living thing gets energy by consuming other organisms, starting with producers. Food webs are made up of interconnected food chains within the same ecosystem, with arrows showing the flow of energy. The document also introduces trophic levels and energy pyramids, which show that less energy is available at higher levels. Interactive games and quizzes are provided to learn more.
