    1.
    a.Herbivore:eats only plant Key prefix:herb-plant
    b.Carnivore:eats only meat Key prefix:carni-meat
    c.Omnivore:eats plants and animals Key prefix:omni-all
    2.Vulture
    3.An animal that eats the carcasses of other animals
    4.Good because they break down soil and give it more nutrients
    5.The Oreos were dirt and small rocks(humus).The animal crackers are the dead animals.The earth worms are the decomposers breaking down the soil and animal.

  4. Three types of consumers:

    Herbervior
    Carnivor
    Omnivore

    One scavenger is a vulture. It looks for dead animals to feed on.
    I think that decomposers are good because if there was none then we won't have soil and have nothing to help break down dead animals and plants.
    The oreo represented the dirt, the animal crackers were like dead animals, and finally the gummy worms were the worms that decompose all that stuff.

    1) herbivore, omnivore, carnivore

    2) vulture

    3) Scavengers eat dead bodies of other animals.

    4) Good, because they break down an organism and return it to the environment.

    5) The Oreo cookies acted as the ground and the animal crackers are the dead organism. The gummy worms are supposed to break down the animal and the return it to the environment.

    3 types of consumers are lions, humans, rats. A type of scavenger is a vulture. it picks on all the dead animals, like us having a fork and eating a dead skunk on I10. Decomposers are really good, because with out them all the dead corpse of dead plants and animals will be lying around on the Earth. The cookies lab was about the fossils. Even after they were cooked the pattern we made was still there, the warm lab was about the nitrogen cycle the warm eats then poops and makes a better soil for plants to grow in. The nitrogen cycle.

  7. Three comsumers are wolfs bunnies seals.

    One scavenger is a hyeana.

    A scavenger is an animal that eats the remains of anoter one.

    Decomposers are good since if we didnt have them then we would have dead bodies laying around.

    The cookies were the soil the animal cracker / winnie the pooh cracker were the dead organism and the worms were the decomposers that broke things down.

  9. The three types of consumers are, herbivore, an animal that eats only plants, carnivore, an animal that eats only other animals (meat), and an omnivore, an animal that eats both plants and meat. A scavenger is an animal that feeds off dead animals. An example would be a hawk or hyena. Decomposers are not good, they're great! Decomposers breack down the remains of a dead plant or animal to make nutrients for the soil. As explained in lab, the oreo was the "soil", the cookies were the remains of the dead animal, and the gummy worm acted as the decomposer.

    Coyotes, eagles, and snakes are all consumers. Vultures are scavengers because they eat dead bodies lying around. Scavengers are animals that do just that. Decomposers are good because they break down dead organisms by eating them then pooping them out to make fertiliser for plants.With the cookie cups in lab the gummy worm represented the decomposer or in other words the real worm, the animal cracker crumbs represent the decomposed animals or in other words worm poop, and the oreo's represent the soil.

    1. Some consumers are lions,snakes, and people.
    2. A scavenger would be a maggot.
    3. A scavenger is an animal that eats dead animals on the ground.
    4. Decomposer are very good, without decomposers we would have a bunch of dead animals lying around everywhere.

    The cookies and worm were met to show how decomposers work. The crushed oreo was the soil, the animal crackers were the dead animals, and the gummy worms were the decomposers.

  12. The three types are herbavores,carnivores, and, omnivores.

    A vulture is a scavenger.

    A scavenger is an animal that will search for dead animals and eat them.

    They are good because they break down dead organisms and if they didn't do that the earth would pile up with dead animals, plants, and humans.

    the cookis were the dirt, the crunched up animal crakers were the broken down bodies of organisms, the worm represents well worms(duh)that decomposed the dead organisms.

  13. The three consumers are carnivore, omnivore, and herbivore.
    An example of a scavenger is a coyote.

    1. Carnivore: eats meat
    2. Herbivore: eats plants
    3. Omnivore : eats both plants and animals

    A scavenger is an animal that eat dead and leftover animals. Ex. Vulture, Coyote

    Decomposers are good but nasty. They break down dead stuff in the soil to help the plant grow.

    The Oreo's were representing the dirt/soil. The animal cracker's were the dead animals. The gummy worms resembled decomposers breaking down the Oreo and animal crackers.

  15. The three different types of consumers are carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore.
    A scanenger could be a vulture.
    A scavenger is a consumer that feeds on other bodies of dead organisms.
    Decomposers can be bad for keeping the bodies from being in the soil, but can be good for cleaning up the mess.
    The oreos were like the soil in which the animal crackers (dead animals),lay in and a decomposer, worm.

  16. WE are consumers.
    Carnivores
    Vegitarians
    Vulcan

  17. A deer a fox and a lion are consumers. A valture is a scavenger. Good because they make the soil richer and break apart dead animals. I thought lab was fun today because we learned so much and we had fun too.

    1.The three different types of consumers are carnivores(only meat), hervivores(only plants), and omnivores(both meat and plants).
    2. A vulture
    3. A scavenger is an animal that feeds on dead animals.
    4. Decomposers are good because they turn bad things into good things.
    Ex: A worm helps a dead plant. It makes the soil better so the plants will grow better.
    5. *The crumbled oreos were the soil.
    *The animal crackers were the animals.
    *The gummy worms were the worms.
    When the animals died(crumbled), the worm decoposed the animals to make better soil.

  19. 1.Omnivores, herbivore,omnivore.
    2.a fly
    3.a animal that is like a omnivore.

  20. Birds,worms,and bugs.A hawk.A scavenger is a bird that flys in the sky looking down at fish,animals and other things they eat.good thing.first you crush the cookie and you get some crackers and crush animals including poobear.And then you put your gummy worm in the cup.And the best part of it you get to eat it.

  21. 1.humans, lizards, and mice are consumers
    2.A vulture is a scavenger.
    3.A scavenger is a orginism that eats the remains of the dead bodies.
    4.they are good because they break down dead animals so they can decompose and if they did not there would be no good soil and flowers and a bad smell because there would be huge piles of dead animals almost every were you look.Baisicly a disaster.
    5.We crushed up a oreo and put it in the bottom of a cup (fake soil) and crushed animal crackers (fake animal) and put them in to.then we put some gummyworms (fake worms) on top to to represent the worm (decomposer) breaking up the the animal and it decomposing in the soil.

    Three different types of consumers are cows, people, and fish!

    A scavenger is a Vulcher!

    A scavenger is a consumer that eats the remains of dead animals.

    Decomposers are good because they decompose and become good fertilizer for the soil!

    The oreos were the dirt when she crushed them up, the worms were the decomposers that broke up the soil into bits and ate the prey. The animal crackers were the prey that had died and been broken up into little pieces to be used as fertilizer for the soil!

    A decomposer is good because it beraks down all the dead plants and animals.

    We took a cup , animal crakers , oreo cookies , and gummy worms and each thing ment something.

    Cup=biome/habitats
    Animal crakers=dead animals

    Question for whoever wrote this blog post-
    What do you mean by "types" of consumers on number one? Do you mean to say "what are the three types of animals in the food chain?" The answer to that would be "producers, consumers, and decomposers." Or do you mean to say "Name three different animals that are consumers." One answer to that would be "humans, rabbits, and anteaters." That's what I put for number one on my blog comment. Please let me know. Thanks.

  30. Consumers are organisms that dont make their own food like...

    animals

    humans

    A scavenger is an organism that eats the "leftovers" from the carnavores
    a scavenger is a Vulture.

    Decomposers are good because they break down the soil .

  33. Three consumers are: rabbits, hamsters, and mice are some consumers.
    A vulture is one scavenger. Decomposers are good because they break down dead organisms for soil. The oreos were dirt, the worms were decomposers, and the crackers were topsoil.

  34. Tiger, Hawk, Eagle. A scavenger is an animal that eats other dead animals. They are good because they break down dead plants and animals to make better soil. The cookies and worm thing in lab helps you understand the dead plants and animals (cookies), The soil (oreo cookie), and the decomposer (gummy worm).

Decomposers are not bad because if there were no decompers there would be dead bodies everywhere(decomposers break things up). in lab the cookies stand for ground, and the oreas(smushed) stand for soil. the gummy worms we put at the top or whereever stand for earth worms.
