some things you might

Grasslands are found in many parts of the world. In
the United States and Canada, grasslands are called
prairies. In other places, they are called steppes or
savannas.
Grasslands are found in places that dont get enough
rain for many large trees to grow. Instead, grasses and
other low plants grow there. These plants need less
water than big trees.

other plants.
This fox is eating
a pheasant.
Plants and animals in a grassland depend on one
another. Some animals eat plants. Some animals are
meat eaters. They eat other animals. When plants
and animals die, they break down into chemicals. The
chemicals become part of the soil. Some of these
chemicals help plants grow.
food shows how the energy moves. The energy for life
comes from the sun. Plants store the suns energy in
their leaves, stems, and roots. When an animal eats a
plant, the animal gets some of the suns energy from the
plant. The energy moves farther along the food chain
each time one living thing eats another.
If the lion eats the zebra,
the lion will get energy
from the zebra.
Grasslands have many food chains. Imagine that a
prairie dog eats some grass. Then a hawk eats the prairie
dog. When the hawk dies, a vulture eats its body. The
suns energy passes from the grass to the prairie dog.
Then it goes to the hawk. Then it passes to the vulture.

Plants use sunlight to

do plants make?
A plants leaves take in carbon dioxide and sunlight.
The plants roots take in water. The plant uses energy
from sunlight to turn the carbon dioxide and water into
sugar and starch. Sugar and starch are the plants own
food. The plant stores this food in its leaves and roots.

As the plant makes food, it also makes oxygen. The
oxygen goes into the air. Animals breathe in the oxygen.
