Ecocolumn Reflection

First we started with cutting the three soda bottles in halves and quarters. The week after cutting the soda bottles in halves and quarters we took those halves and quarters and made a connector, an aquarium and a terrarium. We put water in the aquarium and put soil in the terrarium. Then Daniel, Shoshana, Nina and I were in the fertilizer group and I think we did a great job. We used a p.H. scale. If you want to know what a p.H. scale is it's what you use to see how acidic something is. You don't want it to be too low or too high. I worked with Daniel and I think we did a good job.

What I learned about ecosystems is that they can be destroyed, for example, Yellowstone national park had  grey wolves. They became extinct in the national park.  Eco-columns can get effected by pollution. Pollution isn't good for animals and all living things.  A p.H. scale is when you see how polluted something is and how something isn't. You can tell if something is polluted because the p.H. is too high or too low.

An Eco-system is a place like earth. Seattle has a lot of Eco-systems, for example, Seward Park, Mount Baker and Madrona are Eco-systems. If you are wondering what an Eco-system has to have, it needs to have, water, air and grass A.K.A land. When we made the Eco-columns it helped me understand Eco-systems. Our fish and grass all died. I think the fish died because we didn't feed it and the grass died because we did not water it.

Have you ever had an Eco-column?
