 * Ecosystem for Black Nook Pond**

Hello! My name is Nestor and I go to the [|Amigos School] in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our class is doing wiki, becausewe want to let the world see what is important to our planet and to tell people that education is very important. My topic is about [|Black Nook Pond] my topic is related to my field trip, because were learning about ecosystems, and we want to see how they work together to create a community.

Our class went on a field trip to BlackNook Pond. We got to the Maynard Ecology Center by bus then we walked about .1 mile to get to the pond.On the field trip we did some work like. collecting data about the pond.It was fun because got to exploder the pond.I also liked the field trip because I saw some animals that I had never seen before like tadpoles. Around the pond I saw some **//__a biotic__//*** things like rocks.On the trip we used tools that scientist used, such as microscopes. On the field trip to Black Nook Pond we took some notes about what lived there, the water temparture, and more. Some of the **//__producers__//*** we saw were elodea, a plant that fish eat to get there energy, seaweed, the plant that produces oxygen. We saw //__**consumers***__// too, some consumers we saw were tadpole, tadpoles eat leaves and elodea, plankton, which eat duckweed, worms that are so same that you can only see them with a microscopes. We even saw //__**decomposers***__// like leaves. From the field trip my friends and I made energy pyramids. On the pyramid the bottom block is the sun, then comes __**producers***__. On the third box are the **//__primary consumers.__//** On the fourth box are //__**secondary consumers.**__//On the top there’s the __//**tertiary consumers**//__*.

On the field trip I learn a lot, one of those things were that if you put all your effort into your goals you will reach them or that nature can be fun.I recommend you to go and discover how animals live and how they work together to create a community. IMPORTANT--SPECIAL THANKS TO MS.FERHANI FOR HELPING US IN IN OUR WIKIS AND FOR HELPING US TO LEARN ABOUT ECOSYSTEM AND GOING WITH US TO FIELD TRIPS.

 * a biotic – things that are not living, some are aritificial and some are from nature
 * producers -- plants that get there energy from the sun
 * consumers – animals that eat other organisms
 * decomposers – animals that break up things and turn theme nutrients to the plants
 * primary consumers –animals that only eat producers
 * secondary consumers – animals that eat producers nor primary consumers
 * tertiary consumers – animals that eat producers, primary consumers and secondary consumers and they don’t give energy**
