Educational worksheet for classifying organisms as producers, consumers, or decomposers.

Let’s go through each item one by one and decide if it’s a producer, consumer, or decomposer.

First, remember:
- Producers make their own food (usually plants that use sunlight).
- Consumers eat other things to get energy (animals, insects, etc.).
- Decomposers break down dead stuff (like fungi and bacteria).

Now let’s classify:

1. Earthworm – It eats soil and decaying matter → helps break it down → Decomposer
2. Weeping willow – It’s a tree → makes its own food via photosynthesis → Producer
3. Salamander – An animal that eats bugs → needs to eat others → Consumer
4. Dragonfly – Insect that eats smaller insects → Consumer
5. Mushroom – Fungus that breaks down dead wood/plants → Decomposer
6. Mold – Also a fungus, grows on rotting things → Decomposer
7. Venus Flytrap – A plant! Even though it eats bugs, it still makes its own food with sunlight → Mostly Producer (but some might argue consumer — in school science, we usually call it a producer because it does photosynthesis)
8. Jack-in-the-Pulpit – A type of wildflower/plant → makes its own food → Producer
9. Broad-billed Sapayoa – This is a bird (you may need to look this up!) → birds eat insects/fruit → Consumer
10. Mildew – A type of fungus that grows on plants → breaks them down → Decomposer

✔ All classified!
