How many different organisms share a single handful of soil? You start by listing familiar living things found in five communities: home, farm, forest, ocean, and pond. For each organism, you decide whether it is a producer (makes its own food) or a consumer (eats other things). Then you dig into a real soil sample. You spread the soil on newspaper and use a hand lens to find every tiny creature hiding inside. Small organisms go into jars of alcohol so you can study them later under a microscope. By the end, you have a table showing which organisms appear in each community and how producers and consumers share the same space.
