EcosystemsLesson 6 Adding Animals To the Terrarium
Terrarium Observations • How long did it take for the seeds to germinate? • Can you observe any roots? Compare the different plants’ roots. • What happened to the seed coats on your seeds? • Do you remember why we call plants producers? Why did we wait until now to add the animals?
Questions: • How are your crickets alike? How are they different? • How are the crickets and isopods alike? How are they different? • What body parts did you notice? • What are some things that the animals did?
Compare the land (Terrarium) and water (Aquarium) Ecosystems • Has your definition of “ecosystem” changed at all since observing two different ecosystems first hand?
