Producers, Consumers, and
DecomposersLearning goal: Students will classify organisms
according to how they obtain energy. Then, they will organize these types of organisms into a food web to
show the feeding relationships and the flow of energy.

On a Sticky Note:
• Make a list of organisms on the sticky note
• Beside the name of each organism, predict what group you think they might belong to and write one of the following• (P) for producers
• (C) for consumers
• (D) for decomposers
• Turn to someone beside you and share your list of organisms and their classification

1. Producers
• Defined as organisms that use sunlight directly to make food
• Photosynthesis the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
• Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

• Organisms that rely on other organisms to obtain the energy that they need to sustain life.
• There are four types of consumers.

Where do humans fit in a food chain?
• Provide students with the article: Between Pigs and Anchovies: Where Humans Rank in the Food Chain. (Lexile 1070)
• After reading the article students will:• List 5 reason for the placement of humans on the food chain.

Knowledge Check
• In your science notebook answer the following:
• What type of consumer are you?
• What is the importance of having different types of consumers, rather than having only one type?

3. Decomposers
• Organisms that obtain energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms.
• These organisms can be thought of as Nature’s Recyclers!

Knowledge Check
• In your science notebook answer the following:
• What would happen in an ecosystem if any one of the following groups, consumers or decomposers, were removed from it?
![Page 22: Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers Learning goal: Students will classify organisms according to how they obtain energy. Then, they will organize these](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103123/56649d305503460f94a08bb8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Divide into groups of 3
• Using the list of organism from your teacher, use green sticky notes for producers, yellow sticky notes for consumers, and pink sticky notes for decomposers.
• Students will arrange the sticky notes on chart paper to create a food web. Remember that the arrow is drawn from the organism consumed to the consumer.
• When complete, student will do a gallery walk. In a gallery walk, one of the group members will stand by the food web chart to explain it. Each group will do this while the remaining group members will rotate to each chart and remain there for one minute for discussion.
