Editor's Notes
- #9: 3. What do living things have in common? 4. What interactions do you observe among living things and non-living things?
- #10: Let’s analyze: What are the biotic components of this community? What about the abiotic components? What living things do you think can be found in the puddle? In the branches of the tree? In the soil? Why are they found there? If the weather is extremely hot, will that affect the living and non-living things?
