Ecosystem!

Ecosystems!

For the last two weeks Kathy's kaiawhina have been working with Talei and she has been teaching us about Ecosystems. What you need in an ecosystem is; the producers ( so for an example produces are like trees and bushes they make fruit and produce their own food ) and second is a consumer ( animals and other creatures that eat things ) and last are decomposers ( things that break down food such as worms.

How I made my ecosystem was by using; an ice cream container ( or plastic bottle ), stones, seeds ( and make sure your plant can grow so you would need to cut the whole lid off so it can grow ), leaves, soil, snails, worms ( you can pick any kind of bug and finally water.

How to make your own ecosystem!

• First you get a plastic bottle or a clear container.
• Then get any type of rocks that are medium size place the rocks down.
• After that pour the soil in to the clear container.
• Cut up some veges such as carrots lettuce cucumber ( just make sure the snails and worms can eat the veges).
• Bury any type of plant seeds in to the soil.
• Once you've put the seeds in, put the cut up veges on top of the seeds
• Nearly finished put the snails and worms in.
• Finally cut or melt the holes so the worms and snails can breathe! Now you are ready to make a Ecosystem!

      Now your ready to make an Ecosystem!
