1. Ecosystem: is all living and non-living things that interact with each other in an area. Example: all the trees, bushes, birds, snakes, boulders, soil and more that all interact (rely on one another) in the Grand Canyon ecosystem. Sometimes, ecosystems are much larger than the Grand Canyon.

2. Ecosystems  System: anything with two or more parts that are connected, and do a job (aka function).  Organism: any living thing.  Note: for nearly any organism to live, they must depend on other living and non-living things that surround them. Example: a chipmunk depends on the seeds and nuts in it’s ecosystem, plus the air, water, sunlight and more.

3. Ecosystem:  Some ecosystems affect the entire world. Example: Tropical rainforests are home to the majority of the world’s species. Also, it’s a major clean-up factory for the world, cleaning carbon dioxide and various pollutants.

4. More about the Rainforest:  There are four main levels to the rainforest, each with an important job.  Highest: emergent layer  Next highest level: canopy  Second lowest level: understory  Lowest level: forest floor

5. More ecosystems:  Pond ecosystem: ponds are smaller ecosystems than tropical rainforests. Many organisms live there and they interact with each other to meet their needs (survive).

6. Brrr. The Cold, Scientific Truth:  The polar regions are ecosystems that affect the entire world’s ocean/sea levels, and the temperature.

7. But wait, there’s more…  If you order right now, before you have to put even one little thought into it, you’ll not only receive the Grand Canyon, polar, pond and rainforest ecosystems. I’ll mention the following fabulous ecosystems at no extra cost (as far as you know):

8.  Desert, salt water, lake, river, grasslands, mountains, foothills, wetlands, and so much more.

9. And now for the game of ecosystem or not.  Ecosystem or not?

10. Ecosystem or Not?

11. Ecosystem of Not?

12. Ecosystem or Not?

16. Would you trade any ecosystem for what’s in box #1?

17. Okay, here’s what’s in box #1, and what you get for trading away an ecosystem…

18. Hey, that’s no fun. Here’s what you get for taking care of your ecosystems…

19. Plus, if call now, we’ll send you, not only paradise, but a shammy.

20. Keep Earth clean.
