Explore the flow of an ecosystem with these science anchor charts.

Print out in full color or partial color, then talk through each part of the ecosystem with your kids.

START: At the top, you can choose living or nonliving.

MIDDLE: If you chose living, flow down to consumer, producer, and decomposer.

END: Finally, if you chose consumer, flow down to carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore.
