There have been some changes, too. The onions are substantially taller, the corn has sprouted two more roots, and a weed has sprouted as well. The water has condensed much more than last week, and has run down the sides.

5/6- Day 8
Our ecosystem has been officially sealed for over a week!

5/6- Changes
Today two changes I noticed were:
1. Our ecosystem is thriving! There is condensation on the bottle wall, and the onions and corn are growing like crazy.
2. There is also an unknown plant that is growing. We still don't know what it is but we will be excited to see.
I have included a picture of the corn kernel that is growing.

5/2- Day 4
Today we noticed a lot of changes, they include:
-The onions are growing.
-There is a lot of water condensed on the sides.
-The corn seed we planted is growing really well.
-The Dirt has settled some more.
The two I will explain are the onions growing and the corn growing.
- The onions we planted were already sprouted. But they have grown much, much more. They are growing taller and filling out.
- We only planted one kernel of corn, we put a few others in but they were just dropped in. The kernel we planted is was not growing at all but it has started growing roots.
Here is a picture of the corn kernel.

Early Growth: 5-2
We were pleased to pull the bottle down from its snowy vacation to find that all the onions have sprouted. There stems are splitting into multiple leaves. We also have some corn inside that has a root growing down to get its grasp in the fresh dirt to start growing. The dirt seems a little dryer, but we think that the moister has gone to the middle of the dirt, and into the "clouds" and on the side of the bottle. There seems to be a lot more moister on the side of the bottle that could be because it had more sun that normal. Other than that, everything looks to be doing very good!
Observations- Day #4
Our teacher assigned us this: Give four observed changes in your ecosystem, and infer why those changes took place.
-Observation 1: Channels in the soil along the side of the bottle.
-Our worms are alive! (Except for one. He hasn't moved since we put him in.)
-Observation 2: The kernel of corn we pushed into the soil on the edge of the bottle has sprouted a root.
-Contact with water has caused it to sprout.
-Observation 3: The water reservoir in the gravel is empty.
-The water has evaporated, condensed, precipitated, and been absorbed by the soil.
-Observation 4: The onion tops are greening up and have gotten taller.
-Contact with sunlight and water has caused the onions to begin photosynthesis.

05/01/13- Day #3
The onions are beginning to leaf out, otherwise nothing overly obvious has changed. I think the plants and worms appreciate being inside on a day like today...

4/30- Day 2
Today the bottle has been sealed for approximately 24 hours. Some observations we saw were the dirt settling, and water condensing on the side. I have included a picture were you can see these things. We plan to give our ecosystem equal sunlight on each side. So each day we will rotate it by a third.
