'Here is a song I created to help my 6th grade students study. I hope you enjoy. This one\'s about you and me, the plants and the trees We\'re all right where we should be The food web is wide, food chain in a line And it\'s made up of all you see Decomposers, consumers It starts with producers Any kind of green plant that is making food from sunlight, uh Using energy to make sugar, glucose like a syrup Making wood, roots, and bark, leaves in the trees Producers photosynthesizing growing reproducing, uh From the soil nutrients decomposing action Need plants for ecosystems being thrilling Providing all energy photosynthesis it kills me I swear that plants start the whole process moving Then there are the consumers, you see They are any organism that is feeding to live up The main thing they can\'t do is making their own food Excuse me they will eat producers they\'re feeding And pardon me but they can eat fish and all kind of dish Poppin bits and pieces in their mouths or what will fit Some eat some of both take your pick not the opposite Consumers stay the same, cause eating food depends on teeth You know it when I tell you something Cause it is herbivores that do the snacking on plants, trees, leaves Cuz they\'re special stomachs, adapted for digesting Grains, grasses, fruit-bearing and vegetables Omnivores how they do it, why they do it Was it cause they have molars, incisors inside their head Can wait for things to drop dead, eat it Or is it cause they feast also on plants Balanced diet, yes cause they can, guess that\'s how they survive, you know it What a different take Carnivores hunting sharp teeth in skulls As if they need energy See they require calories To power their bodies like gasoline They\'ll need to eat meat Now let these words be like an aide to your brain or your main frame And let it be known from this day forward I wanna say producers start the chain to give all strength Herbivores, omnivores and carnivores see what they just ate This one\'s about you and me, the plants and the trees We\'re all right where we should be The food web is wide, food chain in a line And it\'s made up of all you see Decomposers, consumers It starts with producers By the time you hear this there will be some dead animals outtie Organisms eating on the dead, and feeding or chewing the waste of living bodies yes they are like garbage men really Breaking down the dead, oh boy, cause they\'re going to eat it And they ain\'t gotta stop to eat a minute To tell you really we need \'em the plants use the nutrient components making their sugar Tell you they\'re all sizes, and their shapes are varied Can be bacteria all the way to shell fungus Essential to ecosystem without them-waste piles up So it\'s only right that they take their place in the system important yes important as the biggest animals See a dead log they be eating for many years Don\'t stop while we\'re at the top Animals eating off a dead carcass It\'s \'bout to be a scary prop (osition) \'Cause what grows up must come down Scavengers find something eating everything they can eat like a sly fox Every hour-happy hour now Death is wacky now Essential to the web breaking to bits and pieces Now they\'re eating a dead cat meooww, ow Oh, eating cows, always breaking down all the weight in half the time Ya\'ll are food You remember that the food chains are in that line And the chain starts to the left with arrows And their pointed to the right Begins with plants to animals Or producers to high level consumers And then decomposers Goes from low to high But in an ecosystem a chain ain\'t so realistic so we use a web Really, that\'s right Animals connected like a web be like a bee-hive And how real is that? If an animal falls the ecosystem crumbles like a house of cards in fact Now with the system stresses causes a real mess You and I know that it\'s right that this system Has to be right But tonight maybe it\'s alright So hold on real tight Let it shine This one\'s about you and me, the plants and the trees We\'re all right where we should be The food web is wide, food chain in a line And it\'s made up of all you see Decomposers, consumers It starts with producers'
