Ecosytem Jars


My dad  and I have started an experiment. We collected water from the stream in front of our house and from the pond that has formed near where the woodland is being planted, and put it in jars. In the photo above, the jar on the left is water from the stream, and the jar on the right is water from the pond. We put the jars upside down so that no air can get in, and we are going to leave them on the windowsill to see what happens. Dad says that it will turn into a miniature ecosystem, depending on what tiny creatures, plants and and other things that are in the water. I will keep you updated.
