Fauna:
All the animals in one area. What animals can you expect to see where you live?
Flora:
All the plants in any one area. What types of plants and trees can you see where you live?
Food chain:
A food chain describes the transfer of energy from one living thing to another. Food chains begin with the sun, the source of all energy on earth. Since only plants can produce food from the sun's energy the first link in a food chain is always a plant. The second link in the chain is a plant eater and the third link a meat eater. For example, a rabbit might eat the grass to live and then a fox might eat the rabbit to live. Other animals might eat the fox and many humans eat other animals too.
Forest :
A ‘biome’, which is mostly made from large groups of trees. The trees grow close enough together that their tops touch making the ground below very shady.
Fossil fuel:
Any fossil materials, such as petroleum, natural gas, or coal, which can be burned to make energy that we can use for making electricity for our homes and schools or for our cars. The problem with using fossil fuel is that when we burn it, nasty polluting gases rise up into the air which is bad of all livings things, and there is not so much left in the world and one day it will run out.. Fossil fuels take millions and millions of years for the earth to make, so we cannot get any more once we run out, so many newer and cleaner ways to make energy now exist, from solar power (energy made from the sun) to wind power (energy made from the wind) and many other different ways.
Fossils:
Fossils are what are left of the remains of prehistoric animals and plants buried millions of years ago.
