Introduction
Hi! I’m Ruby, a sixth grade student at the [|Amigos School] in [|Cambridge, Massachusetts]. As part of our science class, we’ve been “Ecosystem Investigators”, traveling from ecosystem to ecosystem in the [|Boston area]. One of the ecosystems in the Boston area is the pond ecosystem in Black’s Nook Pond at the Maynard Ecology Center in Cambridge. Me and my friends observing a [|threadworm] we named Eddie.

"Ecosytem Investigators" Liam and Elisa are caught by surprise in the midst of recording their incredibly important pond data. Terribly sorry for interrupting your scientific discoveries! :-)

This is an energy pyramid of the pond ecosystem.

This is a food/energy web of the pond ecosystem.

This is a list of all the abiotic and biotic things at the pond ecosystem. Other Stuff-

1. During our time at Black's Nook Pond, we looked for plankton by using a plankton net. If you would like to learn how to make one to catch and observe your own plankton, [|click here.] 2.
