Question: Can you tell me 2 things you know about ecosystems?

That’s a hard one to pick! Ok…The first thing I think of is that everything in an ecosystem is connected. All the plants and animals rely on each other in some way, either as food or shelter, and so if one thing gets lost, the whole ecosystem changes. It’s just like if you’re playing games with your friends like football…you need the whole team there!
A second thing I know is that you can be thought of as an ecosystem! Inside you, you provide a home for loads of tiny animals like bacteria, and they all live together in the same way that we see animals living together in a rainforest…Just a much smaller version :-).
