"The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred. Therefore the sum of all the energies in the system is constant."
For extra credit, explain the meaning behind this law in terms of food webs and food chains.
THINK...
What does it mean that energy is neither created nor destroyed? How is energy transferred?
What does the last sentence mean by "the sum of all energies in the system is constant"?
How can you explain this in terms of the food web?
You may use other examples to support your claim, but the connection to food chains and food webs must be made. Display your findings on a poster. Be creative! The attached rubric will be used to assess your assignment.

Science Standard 6th :
An underlying principle of all energy use is the Law of Conservation of Energy. Simply stated, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can be transformed, one form to another.
Describe how living things, including humans, depend upon the living and nonliving environment for their survival.
Common Core 6th Writing:
Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
Common Core 6th Math:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
