StandardsStandard 3.6 The student will investigate and understand that
environments support a diversity of plants and animals that share limited resources. Key concepts include
a) water-related environments (pond, marshland, swamp, stream, river, and ocean environments);
b) dry-land environments (desert, grassland, rain forest, and forest environments); and
c) population and community.

Population A population is a group
of organisms of the same kind that lives in the same place. Examples of a population are a group of swans in a pond, a school of fish in a river, and a herd of cattle in the grassland.
Populations
Which is the largest population in the picture?
Community A community is all of the
populations that live together in the same place. An example of a dry-land community would be a forest made up of trees, squirrels, worms, rabbits, and hawks. An example of a water-related community would be an ocean made up of fish, crabs, and seaweed.
