Title: studying organisms in an ecological habitat
Aim:
to determine the feeding relationships in an ecological habitat
Method:
* Explore ecological habitat * Make notes of features of selected habitat * Measure the seize of the area to be explored * Record the name of all organisms found in the habitat * Make note of any special features of the organisms * Note the presence of any symbiotic relations
Observations and results:

Discussion
In the pratical numerous organisms were detected; most of these organisms could be said to have 4 to eight legs. It is evident that some could fly and some could not ly. The trophic levels ranged from one to four; while the auto-troph was a tamarind tree and some grass. The herbivore was a butterfly which fed entirely on the tamarind tree. Also, a carnivore which fed on more than one
