Science

Our aquarium has changed a lot over time. I know this because our snails started out at the bottom and just started climbing up to the top. Sometimes stuff moves. Our elodea moved out of the water. Our snails keep rotating to new spots all the time.

Our terrarium has also changed. For example, our grass grew to the top in three days. Mrs. Ambrosio had to cut our weeds but they grew to the top again. We think our cricket jumped out because we haven’t seen it in five days! So there have been some crazy things that happened to our terrarium.

Our biotic snails rely on the abiotic water to live. For example, there's oxygen in the water which helps fish breath. Abotic things are non-living. Biotic things are living.

Have you ever made a terrarium?

  2. COOL!
    Elodea is something that looks like mini lilipads.

  3. Hi Sammy,

    I have never made a terrarium. I'm hoping that we can make one together now that you have all of this great experience.

    What was the most surprising thing that you discovered about your terrarium?

  8. Dear Sam,
    I also had fun making my terrarium but I don't think it was so good because my slug was escaping. I don't even know how it escaped.
    Somehow it came from my Eco column and went into Daniel and shimon;s.
    Sincerely,
    Emma
