Books with title What Are Food Chains

This book explains the transfer of energy between living things—known as the food chain—in a way that allows any reader to grasp the scientific principles behind food chains and food webs. The diets of herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores are explained, as well as other types of diets, and the flow of energy between these groups is made clear with arrowed diagrams and colorful pictures that show where different species derive their energy. Also examined are the effects different habitats have on the food chain, and how food chains in different environmental regions can be contrasted.

This clear, simple book introduces children to the concept that living things need energy, and energy comes from food. Starting with an introduction to photosynthesis, children will follow along the food chain as the energy flows to herbivores and carnivores. A diagram, using photos of plants, a rabbit, and a fox, demonstrates a food chain. A detailed illustration of a forest food web follows.

Food chains are incredible and delicate systems that show how energy flows through an ecosystem. This title explains what a food chain is and the major players in it, like producers, consumers, and decomposers. The book is complete with colorful photographs and clear and informative photo diagrams and text. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.

"Food chains are fascinating! Did you know that all food starts with the sun? Plants use the sun's energy to grow, and then they become energy for animals. Every environment has factors that affect the flow of energy in its food chains--all the way up to you! Discover what plants and animals create the links of food chains and webs in each environment." -- p. 4 of cover.
