Changes in our eco-column over 3 weeks


I predict that our eco-column will not stay alive over the holidays as in our Tera layer we have planted some seeds which wont get the help they need to grow. Our Decomposition zone is filled with lots of worms snails and ants but I feel that they will not survive because they will have nothing to eat due to the plants not being able to grow.


I think that this is a very  good prediction as I have used my term 1 notes and the internet to make this prediction.


 This prediction this very accurate as our eco-column did not survive over the holidays. This is because our seeds in our Tera did not germinate. The Decomposition did not have sufficient food therefore leading to the death of our animals and plants. We looked in our aqua zone under a microscope and we only plant materials, due to that the water went straight though the Tera and decomposition and since there was no animals, we couldn’t find any animal material. We could also see nothing eating the plant material.

  1. 'Tera layer we have planted some seeds which wont get the help they need to grow'.- when did you plant the seeds - what would they need to grow that they would not have over the holidays. Please be more detailed and specific.
    Decomposition zone is filled with lots of worms snails and ants but I feel that they will not survive because they will have nothing to eat due to the plants not being able to grow - this is s different zone to the terra layer so no plants expected to grow here. What should be taking part in the decomposition layer and what evidence would you expect to see that material was in fact being broken down?
    Aqua layer????
    Photos and predictions and evidence all supposed to be in one post - important to read and follow instructions in mark scheme carefully.
