bullet what do you think is the important information to put on them?
bullet  What will you title each slide? 
bullet Should you have any pictures at each level? (yes)
bullethint:  Be sure each trophic level slide includes:

bullet type energy used;
bullettrophic levels;
bulletat least three examples of organisms from each trophic level (from my list/linked)
bulletslide 8:     In the pond Ecosystem:     What else is Energy doing besides moving from one trophic level to the next? 
bullet(hint:  How is energy lost?
bulletWhat forms of energy are lost)
bulletmainly graphics,
