What's a Food Chain? by Katareina

In class we have talking a lot about food chains and what they are. It was quite tricky for some of us to understand and explain what a food chain is, but after lots of discussion and working in small groups, here is what Katareina and friends came up with.

A food chain is an order of what organisms eat. It depends on their ecosystem. This means where they live. A food chain always starts with a producer an example of a producer is plankton. Then its consumer an example of what eats plankton is krill. And is forth. A producer is a living thing that makes its own food by sun and soil. A consumer is a living thing that eats other living things.
