The temperature has went up from 23.7 to 28.1 over the past 24 hours. The water cycle has also been working better, because of the heat. My lizard was sun bathing right by the light when I went in there. Other than that nothing else has really changed.

My oxygen has gone up by 1 percent. The carbon dioxide went down a little. The heat lamp came in today and I put in a certain light bulb that helps plants grow. This heat lamp acts as the sun. This will help the water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and photosythesis 

We took our readings today and our oxygen has finally gone up. The temperature is staying the same. Nothing else has really change. I am doing my graphs today in a few hours.

The temperature, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are all stable now. My science teacher is going to get a heat lamp this weekend. The heat lamp is going to help the water keep cycling. There fore the plants are going to be more healthy. One of my classmates has a heat lamp right now and there ecosystem is doing very well. I think more sunlight will help the plants. It will help the plants make photosynthesis more. I will be starting on graphs tomorrow. Hopefully the graphs will be up my tomorrow night.

I looked in our container today and it looks like my plants are being over watered. The reason I think that is because, they are starting to turn yellow. Hopefully that will not kill all my plants before the break is up. If all my plants die my ecosystem will be over.

Today I measured the oxygen and CO2 level. The oxygen has gone down a little, so the CO2 has gone up. That means my plants are not producing enough oxygen. Hopefully the will started getting use to the environment and start producing more. If the do not, eventually that animals and insects will die from lack of oxygen, so the plants will not have enough CO2; there for the plants will also die.

Today we sealed up the container today. We tested the PH, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide. I was right about my prediction, the plants did grow.  My prediction now is that the plants will produce more oxygen since we sealed it up.

Over Thanksgiving break, my prediction is that the ecosystem will be very productive. I think some of the bugs will die, but I also think the plants will all grow a lot. I can't wait to go back and see if the ecosystem is going to survive without any help from us.

Today I opened the lid and it had a fowl smell. The smell is from the plants and dead animals breaking down. The Kentucky Blue Grass has also doubled in size. The red ants are also adapting to the environment. I can't wait to see how many changes the ecosystem will have when I get back from Thanksgiving Break!

I opened the lid this morning and my lima beans have doubled in size! I also brought red ants to put in our ecosystem. This will give the lizard and spiders more food to eat when I seal it up for good. We also added a banana peel, which will feed insects and break down for nutrients.
