• Remember! – Working together, and helping everyone to reach

their full potential will benefit everyone in this class. We are all interconnected.

Everything is connected to each other.

• How?• How are humans connected to things around

us?• How are plants and animals connected?• How are animals connected to water?• How are animals connected to land?

Everything is connected to each other.

• Understanding the complexity of how species are connected is the key to better management and our own well-being.
