Grass gets its energy from sunlight. They are eaten by grasshoppers. This plant is a producer because it makes its own energy from the sunlight. A fun fact about grass is that they make up about 26% of plant life!

Grasshoppers get a part of their energy from grass, meaning that Grasshoppers eat grass. Grasshoppers are eaten by frogs. Grasshoppers are primary consumers because they eat the producer, or the thing that makes energy - for example, the grass is a producer. A fun fact about grasshoppers is that they have ears on their bellies!

A grasshopper is a part of a Frog’s diet, meaning that frogs get some of their energy from grasshoppers. Frogs are eaten by snakes. Frogs are secondary consumers because they eat the primary consumers, which are in this case, grasshoppers. A fun fact about Frogs is that they have a tongue that is 3 times longer than their body!

Snakes have frogs as a part of their diet, or in other words, snakes get some of their energy from frogs. They are eaten by hawks or other scavengers when they die.

Raccoons are animals that scavenge snakes, in other terms, snakes give raccoons some of their energy. Racoons are decomposed by decomposers one of them being mushrooms. Racoons are scavengers as they eat snakes, the tertiary consumers, while they are dead. A fun fact about raccoons is that their front and back paws resemble human hands!

Mushrooms are fungi that eat raccoons or in other words they get energy from the raccoons. They are eaten by animals or people, or at least the edible mushrooms are eaten by animals or people. They are decomposers as they eat the scavengers, which in this case are raccoons. A fun fact about mushrooms is that they lack chlorophyll, making them not be able to make their own food too well!
