Food Webs & Energy Transfer
How energy moves through a habitat, and why it runs out so quickly.
What this lesson covers
Food Webs & Energy Transfer is a 10-part Class 6 Science lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
