THE WATERING SYSTEM

Our watering system over the holidays did work well, as our plants are still alive, and still looking green, and full of health. After making a few adjustments to our window garden watering system before the holidays, it did turn out working a lot better, as the drip went a lot slower, the water was evened out more. Also managing to water the plants during the holiday helped, but in the end it was a good design of the water system.

Aboitic factors that helped our plants

Our prediction were pretty acurate. The abiotic factor that we predict defineitley helped our plants grow were sunlight and wind.

The suns effect on plants

Ø All plants use sunlight to make food (sugars) in a process called photosynthesis. They store the food in their leaves and the energy flows to other animals that eat the leaves. When leaves fall, decomposers in the soil, work on it, with the help of moisture and heat from the sun.

The winds effect on plants

Ø Wind greatly affects plants throughout their growth. When plants are seedlings, slight breezes help them grow more sturdy.

BIOTIC FACTORS

Producers

· Air plants

Consumers

· It is highly unlikely that our plants will be consumed by the animals that eat of our plants.

Decomposers

· Bacteria - Streptomyces, penicillin, bacillus, aspergillus

· flies

PRODUCERS -> CONSUMERS->DECOMPOSERS

Sunlight

The plants feed off the sunlight in order to grow and create food for the consumers that need to survive off those plants after those animal eat the main food off the plant the decomposers come to eat the small bits and pieces of the plant e.g. bacteria and flies. They come along to eat off the plant but sometimes it will help the plant grow.
