| Phytoplankton | are the producers of the ocean. |
| Biosphere | All the different biomes, each blending into the other. A biosphere is the sum of all the ecosystems established on Earth. |
| There will be more producers than | 1st order consumers, more 1st order consumers |
| There will be more producers than 1st order consumers, more 1st order consumers | There will be more producers than 1st order consumers, more 1st order consumers than 2nd order consumers, |
| There will be more producers than 1st order consumers, more 1st order consumers than 2nd order consumers, and more 2nd order consumers than | There will be more producers than 1st order consumers, more 1st order consumers than 2nd order consumers, and more 2nd order consumers than 3rd orders consumers because there is more energy at the start or less energy as you go from |
| The lines in a food web or food chain show | The Flow Of Energy! |
| Collection | is when water falls back to earth as precipitation, it may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on land. |
| Precipitation | occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. |
| Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is called | condensation |
| is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air. | Evaporation |
| The earth has a limited amount of water. That water keeps going around and around and around and around and in what we call the | "Water Cycle". |
| All living things are made of | carbon |
