This week our terrarium continued to show growth. In the top, soil tier, the roots from all of the deeds are continuing to grow through the dirt and are visible at the side of the bottle. The flowers sprouts have also continued to grow, but not as much as the bean sprouts. The plants growing in the top of our terrarium have started to sprout beans along with the leaves at the top of the plants. The elodea plant is still submerged under water and green, the sprout on the side of it is still the only piece out of water. There is condensation on the bottle on the side that was away from the window in the hallway where our ecosystem was stored. The water looks pretty clear now, without a brownish tint. We can't tell what it is, but there is something hanging on one of the strings in the water, we think it could be a baby snail. We have observed a daphnia swimming around, but not the other one. This week we will have both pictures and individual drawings of our two-tier terrarium.
We predict that our ecosystem will
continue to do well and the flora and fauna will continue to thrive.
Questions for thought:
Is there a difference in taking a
photograph and drawing a picture with a pen or pencil? Does one way of
providing a record require more noticing that the other? Why?
Here are our pictures for the week:
This is a hand-drawn picture of the top portion of the terrarium, the soil ecosystem.
This is the few view of our two-tier terrarium for week 4.
You can see the more-clear water and the green elodea.
The leaves have started to sprout from the plants that are growing.
The roots continue to grow throughout the soil.
We have a drawing of our terrarium. In the picture above the final drawing, you can clearly see the condensation.
