Learning Objective

Students will be able to identify producers, consumers, and decomposers; explain energy flow through food webs; and describe how organisms depend on each other and their environment in a jungle ecosystem.

Teacher Tip

Before Q6, pause and ask students to sketch a quick food web on scratch paper using the organisms Zoe has met so far — the fig tree, morpho butterfly, poison dart frog, and jaguar. This grounds the abstract energy-transfer concept in the story's specific jungle cast and prepares students for the multi-step reasoning Q6 demands.
