How do living things interact
and get energy?
Plants and Animals living together
You are floating in clear ocean water. You look down through a face mask. You see a school of small fish. They all move together. Suddenly the school turns. You blink with surprise. When you look again, the school is gone! Where did the fish go? Why were they swimming together like that?
Living things may affect each other when they interact. The interactions can be helpful, harmful, or neither!
Helping in groups – Members of a herd protect each other.
One kind helping another – a tree helps a flower get light.
Two kinds helping each other – While it drinks flower nectar, an insect spreads pollen among the flowers.
