In Science we have started our Ecosystems unit. We use a kit from Einstein Project that provides us with some of the materials to make mini ecosystems. Right now, the students have created a terrarium (replica of a land ecosystem) by planting alfalfa, mustard, and grass seeds. As you can see above, the students are having some growth! Each student chose the amount of each seed to plant.
Very soon we will be receiving some plants to put in our aquariums. The students have read about elodea, algae, and duckweed, three of the next items to arrive. Not long after that, we should be receiving some tiny fish and snails, as well as crickets and isopods. The students are excited to report changes to their ecocolumns (ecosystems in a column of bottles)and can't wait for the living organisms to arrive!
