What you practice

These are the Grade 5 Ecosystems & Food Energy skills this quiz is built around.

  • Trace energy from sunlight to a producer to a consumer.
  • Name decomposers as organisms that break down dead matter.
  • Explain that each step of a food chain passes on only part of the energy.

A useful tip

Start with the sun, then a plant. A hawk's energy came from what it ate, which came from plants, which captured sunlight. Skipping the plant makes the chain look as if animals invent energy.
