Closed aquatic ecosystem

Observing real life ecosystems is a great way for students to build ecological content knowledge and a way for them to use the scientific practices needed to investigate natural systems. Making closed aquatic ecosystems is a great, cost effective, way for students to understand and appreciate ecosystems in our very own back yard! This can be an ongoing study where they journal their observations and use the Scientific Method to ask questions, make hypotheses and record what they observe…
