A community of interacting organisms and their environment. Living things interact with each other, and also with non-living things like soil, water and air.

A scientist that studies plants.

A sweet, sugary liquid made inside flowers. Insects and hummingbirds feed on.

An area densely packed with lots of different kinds of plants, tall trees and animals. Rainforests get a lot of rain (about 100 inches of rain per year). All that rain allows lots of different plants to grow and lots of animals live near those plants. R

Living things not naturally found in that ecosystem. They usually cause damage or throw off the balance of the natural ecosystem.

Anything living such as an animal, plant, insect, bacteria, etc.

Anything that doesn’t grow and reproduce such as rocks, soil, air or water.

A living thing similar to a plant that is usually found growing in water. They produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants do, but algae have no leaves, stems or roots.

A closed container of plants and other living things that shows you how an ecosystem works.

Tiny living things that are everywhere around us. We can only see them with a very powerful microscope. They come in different shapes such as rods, spirals, and spheres. Bacteria are important in an ecosystem to break down dead and decaying matter.
