Here are some of the words that you'll become familiar with as we work on food chains:

 

Producers

 

 

Using the sun's energy, green plants make their own food = they produce food.

 

Consumers

 

 

Animals that eat plants and other animals are consumers = they consume food.

 

Herbivores

 

 

Some consumers only eat plants. These are herbivores.

 

Carnivores

 

 

Consumers that eat other animals are called carnivores.

 

Omnivores

 

 

Some consumers eat plants and other living things. Animals with a 'mixed' diet are omnivores.

 

OK, now we've got that sorted, let's put it into practice.
