Today was the start of a new trimester. To kick things off, my Honors Environmental Science class broke into small groups and completed an energy chart. The goal of this chart was to test our knowledge of energy along with how it is transferred. The parameters were to sketch how we believed energy transferred from the Sun to an eagle in mid-flight. Below is my group's interpretation. We hypothesized that the thermal energy from the Sun transfers chemical energy to the grass to help it grow. We then hypothesized that that small rodents, like mice, consume the grass in another chemical energy transfer. Then, the eagle consumes mice in yet another chemical energy transfer ignored to have enough energy to fly.
