SALTWATER ECOSYSTEM: Mr. Edward's class recently established a saltwater ecosystem in the fish tank in his classroom. The tank currently holds a few different species of fish, snails, hermit crabs, and a starfish. Eventually, he wants the tank to be able to support coral growth This would allow his classes, especially the Environmental Science class, to study the coral reef ecosystem, something that many will never see in person due to our proximity from them in nature.
On Friday, the students in the Environmental Science class worked to take as many observations of the tank as they could, including number of different organisms, interactions between them, feeding habits, and how they behaved. These observations help them understand how everything in this ecosystem is connected. In addition, the students performed several tests of the water in the tank to check the parameters of the water. Many species of coral are very sensitive to changes in water conditions, and if the parameters aren’t just right, they cannot live. By performing these tests, the students are gaining an understanding of what it takes for a coral reef to thrive and what we need to do for our tank to help us get to those conditions. The results of their tests show that the tank is nearly ready to support coral growth.
