Explore Habitat Roles With Our Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers PowerPoint

Bring the study of ecosystems and habitat roles to life with this engaging interactive Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers PowerPoint! Designed for upper elementary students, this PowerPoint helps teachers introduce and explore the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in a variety of habitats. 

This engaging Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers PowerPoint includes the content you need to explore the following:

• the roles and interactions of consumers, producers and decomposers within a habitat and how food chains represent feeding relationships 
• how animals, including humans, obtain their food from plants and other animals 
• categorizing living things as producers, consumers or decomposers 
• different types of decomposers and their importance within a habitat
• feeding relationships of producers and consumers as a food chain and comparing food chains across different habitats 
• how the removal of a food source from within a habitat, such as through an insect or rodent infestation, affected other living things within that habitat

Discover a World of Information With This Ecosystem Impact PowerPoint

This Ecosystem Impact PowerPoint includes:

• Informational slides defining producers, consumers, and decomposers with examples from different habitats.
• Interactive activities for students to turn and talk and interact with the content.
• Checks for understanding and discussion prompts to engage students and encourage critical thinking about real-world ecological issues.
• And more!

You can use the slides for whole-class instruction, or assign them using your LMS system for students to work through independently.
