FRAYER MODEL<br />
Copy and complete the below chart in<br />
your workbook.<br />
An ecosystem is a biological community<br />
of living things, such as plants and animals,<br />
and non-living things, such as air and water.<br />
The way that living things interact can<br />
be shown using food chains and webs.<br />
Many people struggle to share their home<br />
with spiders, but killing them can have a big<br />
impact on an ecosystem. Spiders eat insects<br />
and pests that might otherwise damage<br />
natural plant environments and ruin crops.<br />
They are a food source for animals such as<br />
birds, so removing them from an ecosystem<br />
can be devastating.<br />
