Summary
          Symbiosis is when two different organisms interact with each other in a positive or negative way. There are different types of symbiosis. There is Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism (shown in picture) is when both organism benefit. Commensalism is when one organism benefits, and the other one doesn't care. Parasitism is when one organism benefits, and the other is harmed.

           I identified my variables and controls of an ecosystem, which were the number of predators and prey. To do this, we used a program. In the program we chose how many of each animal. This brought me closer to mastery because now I understand better how ecosystems are balanced. You have to have an amount of predators so that the prey does not over populate, but also so they are not over hunted.

            The relationship between animals is cause and effect. If there are two many predators the prey will die. If there are not enough predators, the prey overpopulates. Also, in mutualism, if one species is not there, the other suffers. In parasitism, if there is no animals to feed the parasites, the parasites die.
