Freshwater Ecosystem
A freshwater ecosystem plays a very importantrole in many plants and animals because itprovides a habitat for them to live Thisecosystem contains abiotic and biotic organisms
Letrsquos create a list of those abiotic and biotic organisms found in this ecosystem
Vocabulary Check What is a habitat How is it different from an ecosystem
The Plants and Animals of a Freshwater Ecosystem-Let
Take a Look at some amazing animals

Pond Water LabFocus Using a microscope examine the microscopic life found in
pond waterIn your science notebook create an hypothesis of what you think
you might see through the microscopeThen draw a picture of your hypothesis
View your pond sample through a microscopeDraw and describe what you saw through the lens
Reread your hypothesisIF you could change your hypothesis what would you change and
why
