What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Think of an ecosystem like a giant pizza 🍕 — every living thing (plants, animals) and non-living thing (sun, soil) is a slice that depends on the others.

  2. 2

    What does ecology study?

  3. 3

    Build a simple food chain by dragging the organisms into the right order.

  4. 4

    Let's build a food chain together: grass → rabbit → fox.

  5. 5

    Now build your own food chain: producer → primary consumer → secondary consumer.

  6. 6

    In a food chain, what is a producer?

  7. 7

    What happens if you remove the rabbit from this chain: grass → rabbit → fox?
