Life on Earth is made possible by--the SUN! Food web, water cycle & oxygen

This is a kid-friendly “commercial" for the sun, which energizes the food web, drives the water cycle and, through photosynthesis, provides the oxygen we all need! No sun? No life on earth!
This is a great video for elementary science classes and reviews. Grades 3, 4 and 5 often study how the sun provides the energy that flows through the food web and this video will be great for your classroom lessons. Plants capture solar energy and use it to produce food (plants are PRODUCERS!) that consumers, like animals, eat to meet their energy needs. That's the food chain and it almost always starts with the sun!
