Energy Flow in Ecosystems

1. How does energy flow through ecosystems?

2. What do the 3 types of ecological pyramids show us?

(Use textbook p.73-78 and Khan Academy)
Sophisticated

FOOD CHAIN & FOOD WEB are accurately explained, each with a correct drawing, with at least 4 organisms in the food chain & at least 10 organisms in the food web. All arrows are drawn correctly.

All 3 types of ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS are accurately drawn & described.

"MASTERY" level achieved for the 10% RULE and for TROPHIC LEVELS.

PHYTOPLANKTON and ZOOPLANKTON are defined accurately, and their important roles in ecosystems are correctly explained.
Mastery

FOOD CHAIN and FOOD WEB are accurately explained, with a correct drawing of each, with at least 3 organisms in the food chain and 8-9 organisms in the food web. All arrows are drawn correctly.

2-3 of the ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS (energy, biomass, numbers) are accurately drawn and described.

The TEN PERCENT (10%) RULE is correctly explained in the Pyramid of Energy.

All 4 TROPHIC LEVELS are accurately labeled in the Pyramid of Energy.
Developing

FOOD CHAIN and FOOD WEB are accurately explained, with a correct drawing of each, with at least 3 organisms in the food chain and 6-7 organisms in the food web. Most of all arrows are drawn correctly.

1-2 of the ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS (energy, biomass, numbers) are accurately drawn and described.

The TEN PERCENT (10%) RULE is incompletely explained in the Pyramid of Energy.

3-4 TROPHIC LEVELS are accurately labeled in the Pyramid of Energy.
Beginning

FOOD CHAIN and FOOD WEB are accurately explained, with a correct drawing of each, with at least 3 organisms in the food chain and 4-5 organisms in the food web. Some or most arrows are drawn correctly.

0-1 of the ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS (energy, biomass, numbers) is accurately drawn and described.

The TEN PERCENT (10%) RULE is either missing or is incomplete in the Pyramid of Energy.

1-2 TROPHIC LEVELS are accurately labeled in the Pyramid of Energy.
