Eco-systems, vegetables, worm compost part of 5th grade science

Eco-columns, self-sustaining ecosystems created by students, line the window sill in Julie Craghead’s fifth grade class. The students created the eco-columns from plastic liter soda bottles. In the top third of each column, grass or radishes are planted in soil. As the roots grow downward, they are allowed to grow into the bottom two-thirds of the column. The bottom of each column is home to a guppy and a snail or two. Eventually meal worms, earthworms or crickets will be introduced to the grassy top portion of the columns and make their home. All parts of the column – the plants, guppy, snails and worms – feed and support each other.
