Lesson objective: Energy Pyramid Understanding New Vocab Word-**trophic level** start lesson out with **energy pyramid** (wetland critters) -Tertiary Consumers - -Secondary Consumers -Primary Consumers -Producers (contains most energy) ask the little kiddys -what is trophic leve? -what are the levels of the energy pyramid? -what three things do plants need to survive? Activity: tell kiddys to go pick one then have them in a cirlce again release produces (run around) release primary consumers (eat as many producers) release secondary consumers (eat as many primary/producers) release tertiary consumers (eat as many secondary/primary/producers) out of the groups the one that is the longest eats the others and wins repeat
 * main focus is for the little kiddies to walk away with knowing how energy is transferred to the next level***
 * energy that is transferred to the next level (10% transferred)**
 * ask for volunteers to build pyramid (stand in front of eachother)**
 * Close**
 * CRITTERS STACKERS**
 * if the chain (energy line) breaks the kiddies have to stand wait to be eaten**


 * Materials:** String, beeds, laminated animal papers (36)
