Science Energy Relay at Walnut

Kim Corradi and Tracy Ellis took their 6th grade Science students outside to do an Energy Relay last week.  The relay involved student teams representing themselves as a food chain in the following order:  Sun-Plant-Herbivore-Carnivore-Human.  The student representing the sun grabbed as many balls out of a pile that they could (representing energy) and as they passed the "energy" down the food chain, students could see how energy would symbolically get lost and finally the human would have the least amount of anyone in the food chain.
