What is a Pond?

Ponds are small, shallow areas of fresh water. They

are bigger than a puddle, but smaller than a lake.

Most ponds are lled by a river or by rainfall. Some

ponds are human-made.

Some ponds are

created when a

beaver dam holds

water back.

Ponds provide food and

water for many animals.

Pond Life

Many different kinds of plants and animals live and

grow in and around ponds. Plants such as cattails

are often found growing in a pond. Many kinds of

insects, birds, and animals build their homes in the

water or on the land around ponds.

A Pond Ecosystem

A system is made up of connected pieces that work

together. Each piece has a role to play. If any piece of

the system is missing, the system will not work as it

should. Ecosystems are types of systems. They are made

up of all living

and nonliving

things found in

one place.

A System that Works

All of the living and nonliving things in a pond

ecosystem are connected. Plants and animals are

living things. Living things change as they grow. They

make new living things. Plants create new plants.

Animals have babies. Nonliving things, such as air

and mud, are not alive. They cannot grow or change.

Life in a Pond

Plants and animals need both nonliving and other living

things in order to survive , or stay alive. Plants need

water, air, and sunlight to make their own food. The
