  • The biosphere is where all living things work together and interact with non-living things (This is the earth’s ecosystems). 
Atmosphere
  • The atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding Earth. We call it air. 
Hydrosphere
  • The hydrosphere is all of the water on earth’s surface. 
Geosphere
  • The geosphere is the solid parts of the earth.

Use the information you gathered at the beach and your background knowledge to create the model. Model should include at least two organisms.

In your science notebook, document your understanding of how plants use air, water and sunlight to make food for growth.  This may be done as a written paragraph, diagram, picture, or by using a “voice in” feature of a recordable app such as Educreations, Notability, or Google Docs.

How do plants and algae sustain food webs? 
In your notebooks, analyze the role plants and algae have in sustaining food webs.

Each layer of this system relates to the one below it by absorbing only a fraction of the energy it consumed. Most of the food consumed provides energy for life systems, is released into the atmosphere or released in waste. Each level can be understood as resting on the one below - which is called a lower trophic level.
