Science time! Today we have been making mini ecosystems. We got to choose between planting pepper or tomato plants.
Firstly, we cut the top off the bottles we were going to use.(We were going to plant the tomato plants in these.).
Secondly, we put some little stones in the bottle,( you can do pebbles to though.).
Thirdly, we put a weed mat on top of the little stones. ( A weed mat is like a black piece of paper but it's more useful than that.).
Next, we put moss ontop of the weed mat. It was white / light green the moss we used was. We used normal moss for our tomato/pepper plant
After that, we put a few scoops of earth ontop of the moss. The earth helps the plant or plants grow fast and well. This isn't the main idea of earth, but I sometimes think that soil is for helping the plant get into the soil nicely.
Finally, we put the plant in. I put a tomato plant in, I would't like to plant a pepper because I like tomatoes better than pepper.
I liked today because science is fun and challenging and I like a challenge
