We would like to introduce you to our Mini Ecosystem! This bottle ecosystem has been a fun and interactive way to study the carbon cycle in a controlled environment and has been key in understanding how ecosystems function. Inside this wonderful aquarium, we would like to introduce you to our fish Jamal and about 5 teenie tiny snails! Your inquisitive children dove into some questions around this bottle ecosystem, and as a class, we were able to answer several of these questions.
We investigated things such as:
"How will the fish and snails survive if we are not feeding them?"
"How do the plants and animals receive oxygen?" "What would happen if we put a blanket over the bottle?"
"What do the fish eat?"
Here is a link to a great website that inspired this idea!
