Why is learning this important?
Embedded Files
Everything in nature — animals, plants, people, and even the air and water — is connected. This is called interdependence. When one part of nature changes, it can help or hurt other parts. Learning about interdependence teaches us that living things depend on each other to survive, and that small changes can make a big difference.
This lesson helps you see why it’s important to take care of the environment, protect animals, and respect the balance of nature. When we know how everything is linked, we can make better choices to keep the Earth healthy and strong!
