- Can you give examples of producers, consumers, and decomposers?
- For this project, your group will create an online gallery of plants and animals while describing their role in the food chain.
Instructions
- Choose one habitat your group wants to focus on (desert, forest, savanna, or ocean).
- Give at least three organisms for each role (producer, consumer, and decomposer) found in your chosen habitat.
- Create a Plant/Animal Profile
for each organism.
Plant or Animal Profile

Name:
- What made it a producer, consumer, or decomposer?
- What does it eat and what eats it, if applicable?
- Any fun fact about it?
