ThunderTizil's+Pond+Ecosystem

__Welcoming To Black Nooks Pond! __
==¡Que Tal! I am a 6th grade student from [|Amig][|os School] (located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.) The students in the 6th grade visited many ecosystems. We saw many organisms and biotic. We saw many non-living things we even caught some organisms andbrought themin to class. For example some of the things we saw were water scorpions, frogs and some zooplanktons. This ecosystem is Black nooks pond (near [|Fresh pond]) There was many interesting things that I myself have never seen. ==

**We walked to Harvard Train/Bus station; it left us at the location. Before we went to explore this ecosystem we went into Maynard Biology Center to get some background information about the pond. We walked passed the woods and once we reached an area that was not so small but not big we stopped. We found a rock, which would be abiotic because, it was never living. Biotic would be a dead skunk because, it was living but not anymore. The natural (Was not man-made) is sunlight; air (72ºF), soil, mud, tiny rocks and you cant forget fresh water. The water was (70ºF) and the acidity was, 7pH, the dissolved oxygen 4pm and turbidity 40JTU. The unnatural abiotic (man-made) pavement, rubber and plastic. This can cause many damage to an ecosystem like litter. **

==For producer organisms, we saw lily pad, smartweed and algae these get their energy from the sun. Decomposers fungi, bacteria, worm. Then consumers also known as Primary, chipmunks, zooplankton and shrimp. Secondary consumers include zooplankton, daphnia and [|dragonfly]. Tertiary consumers, zooplankton, frog, water scorpion and great blue heron. ==

==This ecosystem was incredible. I learned about the abiotic life, how if one part of the food web is broken the ecosystem wont survive because, with no sun there are no producers, with no producers there are no herbivores, if there are no herbivores there are no carnivores then the whole ecosystem is broken. We used many interesting tools likeplankton net, a cup that shows in what condition the water is in. This was an amazing ecosystem!
