BioBottle Lab

Tomorrow we will make bio bottles.
Today do a pre lab write up.
Go to http://www.learner.org/courses/essential/life/bottlebio/ecocol/build.html to get the general directions and ideas on how to create an ecosystem in a biobottle. You will use your bio bottles to test a variable from your action project or river lab so you and your partners should build the same kind of bio bottle giving you at least one control and 1 or more variable bottles. Yes each person needs to make their own bio bottle and do their own lab write up. Get a How to do a lab report form from the sub. You can write the lab out by hand or type it as a google doc. I need to see that you have done the title, purpose, prelab research (about how ecosystems work and what you need to make a biobottle sustain itself.), materials and a brief procedure and the creation of a data table to monitor ecosystem health daily for 3 weeks.

We will finish this up in class tomorrow if you have any questions.

Have a Great Day!!
