Today, we took readings. I am upset that we are getting closer to ending this. My partners and I have work very hard on our ecosystem and don't want to end it so quick. It seems to us like we have only been doing this for a few days. I see 3 slugs as of today. Plus, I see my frog. It has been doing great. He is still alive, and moving around, that's a god thing. We hope to keep our frogs and lizards as class pets. I am ever so pleased with our ecosystem. Over the weekend, I hope to see our frog still alive, and our slugs, too.

I have finally seen our slugs. I have seen our frogs today as well. I hope to see a little bit more before we have to open it. I don't know what I want to see, but I hope it is something good. Something like, maybe, our frog  jumping around, or in the pond swimming. I see that our plants have been doing good as well. Still, they are dieing slowly. I am excited to open it and examine everything that has happen. In about a few day, I plan on seeing our  ecosystem slowly become more and more prosper over the weekend.

Yesterday, before school ended, i came in and switched the lamp to the other side. The side that it is at, it is closer to the plants. I believe that will speed up the process of photosynthesis.If it doesn't, I have no control over it. This ecosystem is about learning and experimenting. Maybe, when this is all over we can take our frog out and keep him alive afterwards. To me, our ecosystem looks great. There is condensation on the lid, precipitation on the sides, it seems like the water cycle is coming along just fine. Just a few more days, and we will be done with this. I am kind of sad because this has been exciting watching our ecosystem prosper. The first thing i saw this morning was our frog! I am glad he decided to show up today. Usually he is hidden in the big fern. I can see precipitation on the walls, and it seem like it is run down back into the soil plants and pond. Before this is over,  I plan on seeing our slugs to show up. I also plan to see our frog still alive.

As of now, I have seen many changes in our ecosystem. I have seen my frog today. It took me awhile to find him, but he is alive and moving. Still, no slugs. I wish they would come out. I wonder if it is moist in the soil, so that's where they're staying. Our grass and fern are about the same. One thing I have noticed is that our fern is slowly dieing. I just hope that it pulls it together for about another week or so. My airplane plant has been the same since I've planted it. Apparently, it is doing good in its environment; it's adapting. Worms seem like they are taking toll, because I don't see as  many crickets. I think that means they died, and the worms decomposed them. In about a week, I hope to see our ecosystem improve and do well.

As of today, i see that our ecosystem has survived the weekend.  Now that's a good sign that our ecosystem is come along well. I still haven't seen any slugs. I am also thinking about moving the lamp to the other side. It looks like our water cycle is coming along as well. I see that our grass is still going and that our other plants are growing, too. I am glad that our ecosystem is turning out great. At first, I was kind of worried that we didn't plant enough plants, but apparently we did. I can't wait until we open our lids at the end and examine everything. I have seen a little bit of mold in our ecosystem. I hope that is  a good thing. Mold means too much water is in there. I am guessing that is another good sign for our water cycle. In about a week, I hope to examine everything that has happen over these weeks. Before that, I want our ecosystem to prosper.
 
Today, I put up new graphs. I plan on putting up 1 graph every week. I haven't seen my frog, but my O2 readings are high. I hope that means he is still alive. My plants are doing great. I have seen my banana peel is rotting so I wonder if that means that my decomposers are taking place. My grass is still growing. I am glad to see our ecosystem is turning out great so far. I think my animals are hiding. I haven't seen my cockroach, but my biology teacher said they are great hiders. My pill bugs are also hiding. My slugs still haven't came out. I plan to see them soon. I do know that they love moist places, so they are probably in more of a moist place then i know about. In about a week, I plan to see my slugs, and also see my ecosystem become more and more productive.
 
Today we took our readings. In our ecosystem I have see our frog alive. I have also seen our grass is growing tall, but I have seen that our big fern is slowly dieing. It still have plenty of green in it, but little spots of brown our coming in. If you look close into our ecosystem's soil you can see some roots and worms. I hope to see my slugs, because I haven't see them in a while. I also hope that our pill bugs and cockroach will show up, too. In about a week i hope that they will show up and that our animals are still alive.
 
I made my Know/ Need to know chart. I also took readings. The readings are great!
 
Today I put my graph up. We took readings and our frog is alive! I am so happy that our frog has came this far.
 
Today we put a heat lamp and our levels r still maintaining a level. I would have my graphs up, but my calculations are coming out the way they are suppose to.
