What happens as you move up the food chain? But when is this not true and what is a better to look at the food chain?
How do you construct a pyramid of biomass and what does the pyramid represent?
How would you interpret pyramids of biomass?
How is energy used up by photosynthesis in a food chain?
How is energy used up by respiration in a food chain?
How does energy disappear in a food chain due to inedible materials?
How does the loss of energy explain why there are so few trophic levels in a pyramid of biomass?
How are elements cycled back to the start of the food chain?
What is compost?
What is in a compost bin?
What is the carbon cycle (describe part 1 of it)?
What is the carbon cycle (describe part 2 of it)?
Why do organisms of the same species have differences and what two types of variations are there?
Why do different genes cause genetic variation?
What is environmental variation?
How are characteristics also influenced by the environment?
How do the conditions a plant grows in cause environmental variations?
How do most characteristics depend on genes and characteristics use the height of a plant as an example?

What is the theory of evolution?
How does looking at the similarities and differences between organisms allow us the put them into groups?
How by studying similarities and differences between organisms can we understand how all living things are related (evolutionary relationships)?
How by studying the similarities and differences between organisms can help us to understand how they interact with each other (ecological relationships)?
How does natural selection work? Use rabbits with big ears and small ears as an example.
What is a mutation?
Why does evolution occur sometimes due to mutations?
Why didn't everyone agree with Darwin?
What was Lamarck's theory? Use the legs of a rabbit to explain it.
Why do scientists develop different hypotheses from similar observations?
Lamarck and Darwin both had different hypotheses to explain how evolution happens so what happened in the end with each hypothesis?
Why is Darwin's hypothesis now known as a theory?
