Ponds

/pɑːndz/ noun

Definition

Small bodies of still water, usually smaller than lakes and often used for fish or decorative purposes.

Etymology

From Old English 'pund' or 'pond,' possibly from a Scandinavian root meaning 'to enclose or confine,' referring to a confined body of water.

Kelly Says

Ponds are tiny ecosystems where frogs, insects, and fish live together—they're like little worlds that teach us about nature's balance, and they're often what make kids first curious about biology!
