Ecosystems. Experiment 1.1: Living on the edge -- Experiment 1.2: The climate suits me -- Experiment 1.3: In the dark -- Experiment 1.4: My plot or yours? -- Experiment 1.5: Soil survivors -- Nonliving factors affect ecosystems. Experiment 2.1: Thirsty little sprouts -- Experiment 2.2: A drop in the bag -- Experiment 2.3: Fermentation factories -- Experiment 2.4: Cool fish -- Experiment 2.5: The right light -- Living factors affect ecosystems. Experiment 3.1: Give me space -- Experiment 3.2: Pesky plants! -- Experiment 3.3: Out of sight -- Experiment 3.4: Too close for comfort -- Experiment 3.5: It's a gas -- Humans affect ecosystems. Experiment 4.1: Probing pollution -- Experiment 4.2: No salt, please -- Experiment 4.3: Acid bath -- Experiment 4.4: Shrimp forecast : clear to partly cloudy. Experiment 4.5: Packed tight.
Ecosystems come in many varieties and sizes; they can be as small and wet as a pond or as extensive and dry as a desert. And there are many questions to ask about them: What type of shelter best protects animals from extreme cold? How important is sunlight to an ecosystem? What conditions are needed to get seeds to germinate? The answers can be found by doing the fun and simple experiments in this book. Young scientists will begin to explore ecosystems—natural places made up of living things such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, and nonliving things like water, light, and climate. For students interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.
