Question Observe two different places near your home or school (e.g., a park and a roadside). List the living and non¬living components you see. How are the two ecosystems different?
We can see some common things near our home and school, such as Park: Living (trees, birds, squirrels, grass); Non-living (soil, water, benches, sunlight). Roadside: Living (weeds, insects); Non-living (asphalt, dust, car exhaust). Differences: The park is a designed ecosystem with diverse plants and animals, supported by soil and water, while the roadside is a disturbed, human-altered area with fewer species and more pollution.
