Poco vs. Pequeño

What's the difference between poco and pequeño? I know they both mean little, but are there certain cases to use one or the other (like ser vs. estar)?

pequeño is an adjective. It modifies a noun.
poco meaning "little" is an adverb. When it means "little" it really would be translated as "a little". When "poco" is used as an adjective it means "few".
pequeño = physical size
poco = a small amount/degree of whatever you are talking about

"pequeño" is little as in size. Poco is little as amount, or meaning "a bit".
