I was recently reading the November/December 2024 issue of “Science and Children” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. 

In this issue, I read the “Science 101” column, written by Matt Bobrowsky.  He wrote an article entitled, “Q: What’s a Good Way of Explaining Ecosystems?” 

An ecosystem is like a big neighborhood where plants, animals, and even tiny things like bugs and mushrooms all love together.
