Describes the meadow environment, and the levels of the food chain found there and how it works.

A meadow is more than just a pretty place to have picnics. It’s home to many species of plants and animals. They’re connected through food chains, and readers explore how individual food chains come together to make a meadow food web. This important science concept is presented through engaging text, as well as a colorful meadow food web that shows a variety of connections among living things in this ecosystem. Fact boxes provide additional information about the plants and animals that live in meadows, and colorful photographs put readers in the middle of this habitat.

Explains how animals that live in meadows get their energy from food chains.

You've probably heard the saying, "You are what you eat." Of course you don't become a cow when you eat a hamburger, but you do draw your energy from the energy in the food you consume. All organisms are linked together by the food chain, which illustrates the transfer of energy from one organism to another. A bird gains strength from devouring a frog, which may have eaten an fly, which may have eaten rotten fruit. Science writers Alvin and Virginia Silverstein and Laura Silverstein Nunn describe the many sources of energy we often take for granted every time we eat. The authors also explore relationships in nature and what happens when a part of the food chain is affected by outside factors. Finally, they offer ways we can protect each level of the food chain. Book jacket.

This book explores the different habitats of Planet Earth, from gardens and woodlands to rainforests and deserts. It includes detailed information on the organisms that live in each habitat and how they depend on one another.

Explores the species and food chains within a grassland habitat and discusses why these food chains need to be protected.

Discusses the different levels of the food chain found in the forest.

Explains the predator-prey relationships that all living things are a part of, represented by the food chains and food webs in a variety of habitats, how everything is connected, and how every living organism plays a role.

Discusses the desert habitat, and decribes how animals have adapted to this environment, and how the food chain works.
