Food Chains and Food Webs

Synopsis: The film examines the dynamic between plants and animals in a shared ecosystem explaining why all living organisms need energy, and how they obtain their food and energy requirements.

Using examples of food chains and food webs, describing the difference between producers and consumers and illustrating the importance of scavengers and decomposers in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, it is the perfect introduction to biological science and interconnectedness within an ecosystem. This programme is also ideal for initiating discussion regarding environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation and species extinction.
