Was
the eco-column a success or not as an ecosystem? No, an ecosystem is defined as a self-maintaining area that contains different living organisms that interact. In our eco-column although we had living organisms they did not interact which means our eco-column was not a ecosystem. To
what extent do you have a better understanding of ecology (as explained in the
notes) as a result of creating and looking after your eco-column? Although our eco-column as a whole wasn't a great success. I have learnt quite a bit about ecology, one of the things I was most impressed about was the way in which the plants adapted and grew at a rapid rate in their new environment. So it terms of understanding how ecology works, I think learnt things I wouldn't of learnt if we didn't take time to build and observe these eco-columns.
Did our group work well together or not? No, our group was fairly disorganized and encountered many problems building our eco-column (as referred to in the video linked) We also suffered with our blog because we never read the marking rubric which was vital in getting good marks for our blog and our blog reflected our standard of work. For me the blog was an accurate reflection of what I learnt from this project. If I had to do this project again I would of been much more careful with my blog and therefore enjoyed it a lot more.
Our group did not work well as a group because in the first blog mark and second we did not read the mark scheme properly and therefore got very bad marks we also struggled with fixing the Eco-column after it got blown over.
We did not really have a better understanding of ecology as we did not work to our full potential and our column blew over we also only had herbivores.
To what extent do you have a better understanding of ecology (as explained in the notes) as a result of creating and looking after your eco-column? Not a big extent because we already knew quite a lot about ecology and we did not originally complete our set tasks properly. We did not work well as a group and didn't complete our tasks properly.
Loved the movie - great idea and well done. Looking forward to a great standard of work from all of you for the rest of this year after the 'hiccup' of the ecocolumn blog (and the ecocolumn itself). Hope none of you are considering farming as a career - afraid your ecocolumn looked a little like a wasteland.....
