Book details
Carol Ballard - Author
A focused introduction to the connectedness of living organisms, combining explanations of feeding relationships with practical investigations and additional factual material.
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY: GENERAL INTEREST (CHILDREN'S / TEENAGE). Find out how the passage of energy from one organism to another creates a food chain. This book explores how the need to find and consume food creates an interlinking chain between organisms, from the producers of energy to the consumers. It also looks at what happens when a food chain breaks down and the disastrous consequences this can have for the organisms in the chain. Includes fieldwork investigations that show how to identify food chains and webs and fascinating fact boxes that offer in-depth information on topics such as echolocation. The six books in the Living Processes series look at the processes all living organisms must carry out in order to stay alive. From feeding and drinking through to breathing and reproducing, it explores the differing ways in which organisms carry them out. Ages 13+

Organisms are linked through the need to find and consume food, with energy passing from one organism to another.
Fieldwork investigations are included to show how food chains and webs can be identified, alongside fact boxes such as one on echolocation.
The book could prompt attention to how disruption in one part of a food chain affects other organisms, and to the difference between a simple chain and an interlinking web.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
