Exploring Pond and Forest Ecosystems: A Student's Journey

Join a 7th-grade Environmental Science student as they capture the wonders of pond and forest ecosystems. Discover shelf fungi and learn about the hidden life of turtles, snakes, and birds that inhabit these rich environments. This photo collection showcases the intricate balance of nature, from observing duckweed on the pond’s surface to the roles of decay organisms in recycling nutrients. Explore questions about the Woodland's dynamics, the journey of burdock seeds, and more through engaging observations and experiences in nature.
