About This Reader

This reading passage, 'The Pond's Busy Life', vividly describes a pond ecosystem to illustrate NGSS LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems. It moves beyond simple plant dependence to show a mini-food web, detailing how algae depend on sunlight and water, tadpoles eat algae, and frogs eat insects. The narrative clearly explains how all components, both living and non-living, are interconnected and reliant on each other for survival. This resource enhances reading comprehension while providing an accessible way for elementary students to grasp complex ecological concepts.
