Happy holidays, children transform into little natural detectives, follow Teacher Tudou into the mountains and forests, like Sherlock Holmes, explore the one cubic ecological space of a tree, and unlock the magical mystery of ecological balance in nature.
{ Go into nature }
Take your children to explore
1. What is the ecological chain and what impact does it have on the natural world?
2. Which insects do different materials attract and why?

{ Entering nature }
Take the children to think about
The children asked: Can there be one less kind of animal and plant?
Teacher Tudou answered: Every animal and plant in nature is indispensable. Take a cubic ecological space of a tree as an example. In addition to this tree, there are other plants, animals and microorganisms. There is a complete food chain between them, interdependent and restrictive, and maintaining ecological balance. Green plants photosynthesize to provide for their own growth. They are the original producers of this ecological space.
Herbivores that feed on these plants are the first-order consumers. Animals that feed on herbivores are predators and are secondary consumers. Beyond this cubic ecological space, there are third- and fourth-level consumers. When these plants and animals die, their bodies will be decomposed by microorganisms and turned into chemicals that plants can directly absorb. In this way, a closed food chain is formed, and the relationship between eating and being eaten can maintain ecological balance.
