Ecosystem in a Bottle Science Project...

I discovered this ecosystem in a bottle  probably at the beginning of the school year... and I have been patiently waiting for the right time to take on such a large project as this (it really wasn't as complicated as it seemed)... Well today was the day!

Off to the pet store we headed to gather the supplies for our model pond guests...

Two little fish named Swishy and Fin...

And a snail named Sticky...

We also picked up some aquarium gravel and a couple of aquatic plants.

Our top floor holds some gravel... two worms...soil... some dead leaves and a wee bit of grass seed... 

I am so very interested to see how this all turns out... I will update you with our various ecosystem changes...
