Welcome to Our Ecology Wiki! You are going to be exploring food chains today. Your first task is to watch the following video about food chains.

Food Chains Video

After you watch the video, please
 * Use this site to answer the following questions:**
 * 1) Where does all our energy come from? ﻿All of our energy comes from the nutrients in food.
 * 2) How is a secondary consumer different from a primary consumer? ﻿A secondary consumer is different from a primary consumer because a primary consumer is the first person to eat something and a secondary consumer eats the basic scrpes of another person in thoer ecosystem.
 * 3) Is a grasshopper a producer or a consumer? ﻿A grasshopper is a consumer because it eats grass and can not provide for themselves.
 * 4) When is a food chain short? ﻿A food chain is short when the primary consumer is a large animal with little predators.
 * 5) Name three scavengers. ﻿Three scavengers are vultures, coyotes, and crows.
 * 6) Name three decomposers. ﻿Three decomposers maggots, beetles, and flies.
 * 7) Where do you fit into the food chain? ﻿ ﻿In the food chain, I would guess that we would be at the top because there is rarely that some type of organizm kills humans. Most death of humans are man made.

Today, when I used the Wiki the first time it did benifit me. It is good for looking at other pages and answering qustions, but I think that it would start to be difficult if we used this site to any other extent.
