Mesocosm Assignment, Due Tuesday, October 4, 2016

One of the 9 practicals required by IB in the syllabus is observations of a mesocosm.  For this assignment, I would like you to write a minimum of 3 solid paragraphs. 

1)  Summarize your observations, using dates, which mesocosm you are referring to, and describing plants, animals, and abiotic conditions.
2)  Suggest reasons for the changes you observed in terms of cycles occurring within the mesocosms.  You may do some minimal research as long as you cite your source(s).  
3)  Do you think the mesocosm has reached a stable state?  Why or why not?  What do you expect to see happen over time?


You'll need to add this class again for turnitin.com, as last year's class has expired.

Here's a link to a video I took of 2 of the mesocosms last week:  Class Mesocosms in action
