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. I-are the nonliving elements in an environment. Ex: water, soil, air, light
    I- Abiotic Factor
  2. I-a representation of the flow of energy amongst organisms in an ecosystem
    I-Food chain
  3. G-different populations that share an ecosystem
    G-Community
  4. I-is represented by arrows. The arrows point the direction that energy moves
    I-Flow of energy
  5. B-process by which producer/plants use the energy in sunlight to create their own food
