Food Chains - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. B-process by which producer/plants use the energy in sunlight to create their own food
    B-Photosynthesis
  2. G-all living and nonliving things & all their interactions in an area
    G-Ecosystem
  3. B-an organism that gets energy by eating only plants
    B-Herbivore
  4. N-a part of the ecosystem that is not living. Ex: oxygen, rocks, water
    N-Nonliving
  5. I-are the nonliving elements in an environment. Ex: water, soil, air, light
    I- Abiotic Factor
  6. O-an organism that uses sunlight to make its own food for energy

    N-Living
  22. I-is represented by arrows. The arrows point the direction that energy moves
    I-Flow of energy
  23. O-an organism that gets energy by eating BOTH plants & other animals
    O-Omnivore
  24. I-a representation of the flow of energy amongst organisms in an ecosystem
    I-Food chain
