Experiment 5
Study of ecosystems
Aim: To study different ecosystems in the surrounding for a comparative understanding,
Requirements : Writing material, binoculars, shovel, troughs, beakers or any other containers for collection.
Procedure :
(1) Try to understand the concept of ecosystem before you choose the same for study.
(2) A huge tree, a lake, a pond, certain area of field, our own school playground, a butterfly garden if it is
present in your school campus, a big aquarium, a coastal strip. a beach, etc. are some ecosystems which
you can choose for study.
(3) Always remember, never disturb any natural ecosystem by plucking the plant parts or killing the animals
or insects. Thus, while performing your study, take care of all the resident ſauna and flora, i.e. animals
and plants in the area concerned. You may choose to photograph the specimens. You can also collect
fallen leaves or flowers and seeds.
(4) You can collect samples of soil with shovel so that at school laboratory you can analyse the pH, colour
etc, of the soil. Enter the details in the tabulations given below.
(5) Also think about conservation measures to protect these environments. In today's world all the natural
ecosystems are destroyed in pursuit of development. You can focus your work on some conservation
measures.
