Classify energy roles
Grade 5 students classify producers, consumers, and decomposers by their energy roles in this Life Science worksheet on food chains and matter flow, developing the precise ecological vocabulary needed to describe how energy moves through an ecosystem. Teachers can use it after a lesson on food webs to consolidate understanding and assess whether students can accurately assign roles based on an organism's feeding relationship. It targets the Food Chains and Matter Flow substrand and suits formative assessment or unit review.
Learning objectives
- Classify organisms as producers, consumers, or decomposers based on their energy role
- Explain how energy is transferred from one role to another through a food chain
- Apply understanding of energy roles to describe how matter cycles within an ecosystem
