    1) The document describes three activities for students to learn about food chains and food webs. The first activity involves analyzing organisms in the Monfort Bat Cave ecosystem, categorizing them as producers, consumers, and decomposers to construct a food chain. 2) The second activity asks students to make a food web based on their family's dinner from the previous night and identify which trophic level they belong to as humans. 3) The third activity examines biomass pyramids comparing efficiency of energy transfer between plant eaters and meat eaters up the food chain. Students are asked questions to analyze the pyramids and infer which is more efficient.

    Activity 1
    How do you identify the components of a food
    chain in an ecosystem?
    Objectives:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to:
    1. distinguish between producers and consumers.
    2. analyze the transfer of energy from one organism to another.
    3. construct a food chain in a given ecosystem.

    Materials Needed:
     an article about “Monfort Bat Cave”
     Activity sheet

    Procedure:
    1. Read an article about “Monfort Bat Cave.”
    2. Read the following questions, and write your answer on the space provided.
    Q2. What are the organisms found in the surrounding area of Monfort Bat Cave? List
    them down in the table below.

    Table 1. Organisms found in Monfort Bat Cave

    Q3. What group/s of organisms are considered as producers?

    Q4. What part of the durian trees and other trees served as food for the bats?

    Q5. The population of cave-dwelling bats is declining because they are being eaten by
    other organisms. What are these organisms that feed on bats?

    Q6. Among the organisms that feed on bats, are there organisms that possibly feed on
    the predators of bats? ___ Yes ___ No

    3. Divide the organisms into the following categories as shown in the table below:
    Table 2. Categories of organisms living in the Monfort Bat Cave
    4. Based on Table 2, construct a food chain with at least 3 organisms
    representing the producer, 1st order consumer and 2nd order consumer.

    Q7. You have just analyzed the transfer of energy by categorizing the organisms
    according to their trophic level. In your own words, describe a food chain.
    Q8. Without decomposers, will producers and consumers stay alive? Why?

    Q9. Without producers, will consumers stay alive? Why?

    Conclusion:

    Activity 2
    Making food webs

    Think of the food your family ate for supper last night. Make a food web
    based on your meal. Remember, your food web must have producers, consumers, and
    decomposers.

    Q10. To which group of organisms do you belong?

    Q11. Which trophic level do you occupy?

    Activity 3
    Meat eaters vs. plant eaters

    What can you infer from the biomass pyramids below?


    1. Study the following pyramid of biomass.

    Q15. How much biomass of chicken can 5 000 kg of corn support?

    Q16. How much biomass of humans can the chickens support?


    2. This time, study the following pyramid of biomass.

    Q17. How much biomass of humans can 5 000 kg of corn support?

    Q18. Which is more efficient in converting biomass of producers to biomass of


    consumers – a meat eater or a plant eater? Give your explanation
