Flow of Energy
In this ELP Learning Episode, students will learn about nature's energy systems, food chains, food webs, the energy pyramid, and how matter is cycled in nature.

The Water Cycle! Presented by Crafts for Kids, this page explains the four stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Five Water Cycle activity pages can be printed out and used as posters or coloring pages. Sheets 2 thru 4 have some suggested activities students can do at home or in the classroom to demonstrate the Water Cycle. http://www.kidzone.ws/water/index.html

The Food Chain! This page is from the PlanetPals website and offers a basic description of what the food chain is, including a description of producers, consumers, and decomposers. http://www.planetpals.com/foodchain.html

Plants and Our Environment Students made this website to explain that (1) roots, stems and leaves help plants live and grow; (2) flowers form seeds that can produce new plants; and (3) germination, growth, and formation of new seeds are stages in the life cycle of a plant. The students describe pollination and explain how plants with flowers form seeds. Visitors will learn about photosynthesis, monocots and zygotes, how seeds travel and how a seed germinates to produce a new plant. http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/3715/
