The Eco Tower project, we did it to experiment with an ecosystem in a bottle. To see first hand how different cycles really work in real life. My group members are Sierra, Emily, and Chris. Sierra brought in the beautiful pink pretty duck tape! Emily brought in the soil, rocks, and one of the bottles (the bottom bottle), Chris brought in the top bottle, the bean seeds, and algae (but the algae got old so we got new algae). I brought in Ping & Pong, The two wonderfully amazing small goldfish. Unfortunatly, Mrs. Richardson informed me and Emily this morning that there was a death in the eco tower, thats when i knew. Pong was such a young fish, he didnt deserve to die this young. The reason for his death has not been confirmed. But we think its because there was not enough carbon or nitrogen in the bottle.
R.I.P Pong :(
Anyways; on the bright side, our beans are growing GREAT! The roots are going through the cloth in between our 2 bottles. It was amazing looking, how the roots just started growing down there... It was just so... wierd. Our cricket was doing good, and there were some good worms in the soil eating about the dirt.
There are 3 cycles that keeps our ecosystem alive.The water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle. If it wasn't for those 3 cycles our ecosystem would not stand a chance.
