The document provides information about food chains and feeding levels. It defines producers as organisms like plants that get their energy from the sun. Consumers eat other organisms and are divided into categories based on how many other organisms they eat - 1st order consumers eat producers, 2nd order consumers eat 1st order consumers, etc. With each increasing feeding level there is less available energy. The document also discusses herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. It provides an activity where students build a model food chain and describes how people are omnivores.
