About This Reader

This reading passage, 'Life in the Meadow', is designed for elementary students to understand NGSS LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems. It shifts focus from just plants to illustrate a simple food chain within a meadow, showing how grass depends on sunlight and water, rabbits depend on grass, and foxes depend on rabbits. The narrative emphasizes that if one part of this system is missing, it affects the others, clearly demonstrating the interconnectedness of living and non-living components in an ecosystem. This resource supports reading comprehension while teaching fundamental concepts of ecological relationships.
