Ecology is the study of how living things interact with one another just like how bees interact with flowers in their enviorment.

Pond EcologyPond ecology is the study of how living things

interact with one another in a pond, like how the fish and the frogs interact with one another. ( It is just like ecology only in the enviorment of a pond!)

Organism

An Organism is all living things, including plants and animals. So an organism can be any living thing anywhere!

Even flowers are organisms!

HabitatA habitat is the natural enviorment of an

organism, where you could find animals or plants normally.

For example a habitat for a sloth might be in the rain forest, but you might find a bunny in your front yard.

Limiting FactorSomething in the enviorment that keeps the

population from getting as big as it could in a given enviorment. Like maybe lack of oxygen in a pond might limit the amount of fish in that pond.

Carrying Capacity The maximum number of organisms in an

enviorment that can be supported in a given enviorment like how on a hot tub you might find a sticker that says it can only hold so many people.

THE ENDThe end has come, but don’t be sad because

now you know the meanings of all these fabulous words!
