- Title
Investigating ecosystems in a biobottle.
- Authors
Breene, Arnica; Gilewski, Donna
- Abstract
The article discusses the significance of biobottles on the students' understanding of ecosystem in the U.S. Because of the need for students to gain an appreciation about life in an environment and how to conserve, protect and maintain habitats, the National Science Education Standards recommends that they should investigate populations, diversity, food webs and biotic and abiotic factors of ecosystem. To answer the call, students build biobottles, miniature ecosystems made from 2-liter plastic soda bottles. These biobottles help students explore the relationship of the organisms in an ecosystem and how abiotic and biotic factors influence plant and animal growth and development.
