How To Confuse Yourself With Food Webs

Kia ora, For the past few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning about food webs. A food web is when energy transfers from a living organism to another. 

The food web that I made is really different to the one on our home site because there are more arrows, the arrows are colored and the pictures are placed differently. It is also different because on mine there are four arrows connected to the kiwi and there is only one arrow connected to the kiwi on the other one on the home site.  

If there is an arrow going from the kowhai to the tui, that means the tui gets its energy from the kowhai because that is its food. The hard thing was, that I was confusing myself from the way the arrows were pointing. The easy thing was knowing the simple things like the birds get the energy from the seeds and stoats eat kiwi. 

Do you now know what a food web is?

Things You Didn’t Know About Ecosystems!

Kia ora, For the past two weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning about ecosystems and how they work. We have a google doc where in the first box we write what we already know, in the second box we write the new information we discovered and in the third box we write our new understandings. Ecosystems are like a life cycle that keeps going. With ecosystems, if you put something in or take something out of the ecosystem it will ruin the whole cycle. I didn’t really understand anything and didn’t know what I had to write or draw on my google drawing but then my friends helped me and now it is green. I enjoyed learning about ecosystems because I learnt something new. Did you know what an ecosystem was before you saw my post?
