Just like the rest of my class i'm sooooooo happy to be on Wiki. Just remember to thank the sun, it started it all!!!!!! How many //**ecosystems**// have you seen in your life? More than you think you have! Think about all the places you've been, those are ecosystems. This year at the [|Amigos school] we have been observing the beauty of Massachusetts by visiting ecosystems in the Boston area, like **Deer** **island,** the **Charles River**, **Back's Nook pond** and many others as well. It's great! We love them!

I learned that every organism in a pond is very important down to the smallest organism. If one thing dies out, the food chain will slowly disappear. Every thing’s important for things to survive!!!!!!!! It’s amazing!!**

but our group was in disagreement about it.


 * Air:** **The air temperature was 63º**

Land**:** **the land around the pond was cold, filled with trees and beautiful**

__**Life**__

 * Some of the producers we located were (on land) algae, grass, trees, (in the water )

plankton and oh-so many more!!!

Some of our lovely herbivores were, turtles, water striders and fish (etc.) The

carnivores were formed by leeches, (eew) mayfly

nymphs, fishes, and dansilfly nymphs

the decomposers were made up of fungi and worms and more, it’s great!**


 * I gave you some examples of producers, herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers. The

herbivores eat the producers. The

carnivores eat the herbivores and the decomposers eat them all. One food chain I liked,

obviously started with the sun using its**


 * energy the plankton, next the fish, following that, the leech, and last, the decomposers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like ponds, don’t you?!!
