Ecosystems
The term ecology comes from a Greek word that means “the study of the house.” Ecology is the study of how all living things interact with their environments. In a way, Earth is the house of all living things. We all live together on this planet and it is our home. Today, we also understand ecology to mean taking care of the Earth so that humans, plants and animals can all thrive.

Ecology is a huge area of study. It covers every part of a living creature’s ecosystem that affects its ability to live. Ecology considers how a living thing reacts to climate, soil conditions. It also studies how much clean water is available and the amount natural resources. By learning about how living things, including humans, affect each other, we can make smart decisions that protect all living things and the resources they need. There are many things that children can do to help make sure that their world stays healthy. The decisions you are making today can affect the future.
