I am very interested in ecosystems at the time. Because of my science background, I am interested in exploring ways to bring ecosystems into the classroom at a reasonable cost. There are many things to explore with ecosystems. For instance, what kind of ecosystem to have? Should it be aquatic? Should I be limited to a fish tank or should I explore hybrid environments? Meaning, should the ecosystem contain only aquatic organisms or should it include amphibious organism? Should it be Terrestrial? Should there be live animals in it or should it contain plants, fungi and bacteria? Should the ecosystem exemplify symbiosis? This would mean that the species living within the ecosystem benefit each other. How can I build a sustainable ecosystem, one that does not require human maintenance to survive?
Here are some ideas to complete this project:
