Week 2

Today, our Ecosystem had been sitting by a window for 1 week.

This is the top tier of our terrarium, there is some condensation 

This is a picture of our whole 2-tiered terrarium.

This is the bottom of our terrarium; so far we observed no growth in our elodea

What we observed

• There is no plant growth on the top 
• The water is clear but had visible particles
• We could no longer see our daphnia 
• We did observe 3 snails 
• Our cotton strings had sunk and is fully submerged in the water
• There is condensation in the soil portion of the bottle
• The soil in the top tier appears to be a bit dry

Additonal wonderings:

-I'm curious where the daphnia may have gone. If they did die, did they become burried in the rocks?

-We observed that our soil in the top tier is a bit dry. I wonder if our seeds will be able to grow in these conditions?
