Bellwork 1. Look at the 8 levels of organization on the back of your notetaker from yesterday . Come up with your own real life version for each level (see my example below- you can use “Earth” ). Biosphere = Earth Ecosystem = Rainforest Community = trees, birds, and bugs in the area

Bellwork1. Look at the 8 levels of organization on the back of your notetaker from yesterday. Come up with your own real life version for each level (see my example below- you can use “Earth” ) Biosphere = Earth Ecosystem = Rainforest Community = trees, birds, and bugs in the area Population = all of the toucans Organism = a single banana tree Tissue/Organ = A panther’s heart Cell = A brain cell Atom/Molecule = H2O Example!
Autotrophs “Self” “food” Autotroph = organism that makes food for itself (producer)
Talk to Your Partner Based on the definition we just wrote down, what are some examples of autotrophs?
Autotrophs “Self” “food” Autotroph = organism that makes food for itself (producer) -Ex: plants & some bacteria
Heterotrophs “Different” “food” Heterotroph = organism that eats other organisms (consumers) I must be a heterotroph, since I can’t synthesize these!
Heterotrophs “Different” “food” Heterotroph = organism that eats other organisms (consumers) -Examples: animals, fungus, bacteria
Try this! (5 mins) At your lab table: Work as a group to quickly sort the cards & use arrows to show which direction energy is flowing Example:
2 Big Categories of Organisms Make a T-chart Autotrophs/ Heterotrophs/ Producers Consumers
Autotrophs • 1. Phototroph : use energy from sun to make food (photosynthesis)
Autotrophs • 2. Chemotrophs : use energy from chemicals to make food • Ex- Bacteria in deep sea vents
There are many types of heterotrophs List as many types as you can Hint: A cow is one type
Heterotrophs • 1. Herbivores : eat ONLY plants
Heterotrophs • 2. Omnivores : Eat BOTH plants & animals
Heterotrophs • 3. Carnivores : eat ONLY meat
Heterotrophs • 4. Scavengers: feed on dead organisms • Ex. – Vultures, Shrimp, Mealworms!
Heterotrophs • 5. Decomposers : Absorb dead materials/waste & break them down into fertilizers for plants • Ex. – bacteria, mushrooms
Try this! (Part 2) Add organism terms to the cards at your lab table Example: Omnivore
Closure On back of notes- Draw a simple food chain for your critter, with at least 5 organisms. Label each organism with vocab- herbivore, phototroph, etc. When finished, put together your critter & drop it off in the front basket
